Sounds fun?
I've never heard of sport climbing achievements in terms of feet climbed. Usually just difficulty. I soloed 1500 feet on Sunday, but the hardest move was only 5.5. Crux was breathing at altitude.

Yeah, where is the epic? Good to beat the old record I guess, you did 3 sport routes in a day.
Like CI I soloed about 900 feet on Saturday but was only about 5.7ish at the crux. That's not epic, that's actually pretty boring when I say it like that. hehe

I hope the Boulderers don't pick up this habit.

But when you add it up at the end of the day it's...
Oh wait it's still three feet...

How many pads?

Truly. It's too supid to be a real post, even from a noob, but way too lame to be a troll.
I say it's just a bored guy in front of a computer with a very bad sense of humor

What's really bizarre is if it's who I think is posting, he's been climbing longer than I've been alive and is pretty accomplished guy, so the need to brag about sport climbing to the nearest 5 feet is strange. Prolly just trying to drum up some business....
