Whiskey Wednesday! Josh Wharton

Josh Wharton is a badass. The man is about as hard as hardmen get and probably one of the best all around climbers in the country. A couple weeks ago, he sent 5.13, v10 and M10, all in ONE WEEK. Any one of those accomplishments would represent a lifetime achievment of most folks. I mean there aren’t many people who have climbed  5.13 v10 and a M10 period, let alone in one week.

Between Janury 12th and January 17th, Wharton sent:

  • Blint date, 13b at the fortress of solitude
  • Package of Woe, M10 in Redstone canyon
  • Resident Evil, V10 at Joes Valley
Package of Woe

Package of Woe

Cheers Josh! I don’t know what I was drinking to the week you actually did this, but this week I’m drinking to you!

    I watched Josh in the Ouray Mixed Comp a few years ago. Partway through the route he paused and used his teeth to pull of his gloves and threw them to the ground so he could get some solid fingerlocks. Badass.

    I’m not really sure what the big deal is… my roommate could add a full NUMBER grade to each of those disciplines. I guess Wharton’s feat is cool… but not THAT cool.

    You should have him go out and send then. Maybe when climbing interviews him he can say his inspiration for the ascents came from you, J Skittles.

    Climbing?… Climbing sucks. I’ll have him interview with Rock and Ice.

    We know you work there skittles no need to hate just because you do ad sales for a mag.

    Blast!!! I’ve been unmasked. Haha. Wig, I’ve heard some crazy stories about you man… ie.. dancing in your undies at Phat Thai?

    There’s actually a link to one of the pictures SOMEWHERE on this site but I don’t recall which interview it was in. Maybe one of the first CCGOTWs
