What's the coolest thing you've seen another climber do?

I was climbing on the Diamond the day that Tommy Caldwell freed the Honeymoon is Over. I watched from near Table ledge as he finished the last 5.12 pitch at nearly 14,000 feet. The effort and tenacity he showed was a pretty incredible and humbling thing to witness.

Im not sure who i saw but he absolutely schooled Chain Reaction 5.12c onsight...and he didn't act like it was anything.

I couldn't finish it so he just ran up it for my draw :shock:

I saw someone solo Enduro Man 5.11c at the Gunks while his girlfriend waited for him at the bottom. Then, after he rapped (with us) he and his girl went and climbed a 5.7 together.

I saw Matt Wilder do the first free ascent of the Kor Roof on the South Face of Washington Column last October.
