ROTSBLOK

sure, they look a bit funny. Little head, stumpy legs and long arms with warped claws. They are natures ultimate zen monks. They never worry and they never ever hurry. Their climbing style is aesthetic and beautifull, although you have te be a patient person to truly appreciate their slow flow. Like a glacier flowing down a mountain.

 If you could transform them into a human climber, that climber would be superstrong, static, friendly and quiet. You guessed it, Swiss legende Fred Nicole

Let's compare their style in two video's

Ok ok, so Fred is actually quite speedy, but there are some resemblances for sure. Everything is dynamic in climbing these days. But the ultimate master don't need to hurry. They move slow and sure.

So, rounding off, what yan we learn from the sloth? Basically three things:

• Eat vegan.
• Save your energie.
• Sleep as much as you can

And what we can learn from fred:

To climb superhard in good style! Fred is still our hero !!
