I bouldered with him in a gym once, and he was not doing that well for what I expected. I was able to send about 50% of the problems he sent, and I dont climb nearly as hard as he does on a rope, and I dont boulder very often. I have a video of him failing to onsight a V6+ gym boulder problem, and then kind of struggling to send it on the next try. It was also in a gym known for having kind of soft grades. I guess he just doesent boulder much. By comparison, I know a guy who boulders V12 but cannot lead 5.9. I know another who sent V10 but could not touch the chains on a technical 5.10c sport climb. I think you'd find that most of the famous climbers you know don't crank their hardest every single day. Unless you're USNavy... I hear that guy free solos 5.16c
edit: I can see you now hangdog 5.10c on top rope. Serious climbing indeed.
