The guy is smooth! His climbing style is similar to what I always strived for, how he uses his lifeline as another arm or leg and easily transfers his weight between them all as needed with hardly a conscious thought. When you have that level of confidence in your climbing system it's amazing how much mobility you have in a tree.

I met Jared and his Dad at CAA jamboree in Santa Rosa,CA. His dad gave me my first foot lock demonstration. Jared started young, working for his dad. They're really nice folks.

 

[Peter]

The biggest clue to his success is at about 40 seconds in........

Age: 30, years climbing: 22.

Second generation climbers always have an edge!

 

[Old Monkey]

His dad was pretty darned good too. I wouldn't challenge the old man to a climbing comp.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I bet they don't use tobacco, lol.

 

[CurSedVoyce]

No Doubt!

 

[jefflovstrom@sb]

Also, eucs are the best for climbing. Ropes run better and the crotches are nice. Jared is a natural. I have watched him at a few events here in Balboa Park. He is pretty smooth.
no apostrophes.

 

[MasterBlaster]

No apostrophes! And commas! No danged commas, either!

 

[stehansen]

I saw him in Elk Grove a few years back. Doesn't he have a brother who is good also?

 

[rangerdanger]

Jared is an amazing climber!! Its great watching him climb, and other people on his skill level is a learning experience unto itself!

Heard a story from someone he won the CAA TCC at age 16 I think, but they didn't give it too him, too young they said. He came back when he was 18 I heard and killed it again.

And yes, I believe he does have a brother who is also a great climber.

 

[woodworkingboy]

So, you have to be an athlete to be a good climber?

 

[MasterBlaster]

I would suspect one would go hand in hand with the other.

 

[Bodean]

That guy is Sick, in an awesome way.

 

[sotc]

I agree Darin, his dad is a great climber also, they always had at least one in the masters challenge Western chapter. Nicest family too.

 

[Bodean]

I saw him at Long Beach, Ca tcia show years ago, repeat phootlocking like 80' phrom the raphters.

 

[stig]

How about we all get together to buy Deva a new keyboard, where the "F" works?

 

[Bodean]

No, No. I've been looking or an excuse to upgrade.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Isn't everyone?

 

[Peter]

I can send you just the f key if you want, I'm sure I have a spare somewhere?

 

[SkwerI]

Or just copy an f typed somewhere and every time you need it you can just paste it in.

 

[NeTree]

Here's an f just for you.

 

[Bodean]

Hey, there. That's a phenomenal idea, Brian...f/paste/f. Now how about the Return key??? I've also been working with no let shit key for over a year now. That took some getting used to. I'm so giddy with the new/old f....ff.....
