Listen Later

Kris sits down in Wyoming with two absolute legends from the 80’s, Jibé Tribout and Arnould T’Kint, to talk about Patrick Edlinger and the birth of sport climbing as we know it. 

Belgian climbing legend Arnould T’Kint did the third 8a in the world, and the first outside of the US, as well as reportedly being the first to onsight 8a. 

Jibé Tribout is a French and world climbing legend who, through the 80’s and 90’s, was always at the leading edge of difficulty, from 13a to 14c.

They discuss:

  • Pushing grades in the 80's.
  • The origins of free-climbing as a pursuit.
  • The rivalry between Tribout and Patrick Edlinger.
  • The scene at Buoux and Verdon in the 80's.
  • The benefits of friendly competition at the crag.
  • The first actual comps.
  • Tribout playing the villain.
