What's the difference between a good climber and a good climber?

There is also the WOW factor, we have all seen the guy would is just so smooth and effortless looking, who moves around the tree like they are more at home up there than on the floor.

 

They are rare, but when you see one they are a joy to watch .

 

had the pleasure of seeing one of these types, the best ones are really modest about it to. This guy was quick and calm, and it really peed me off just how good he was with a throw line, with which i am crap! Though its also nice seeing some bloke make a right hash of it, take ages, tie him self to the tree then maybe brake something inexpensive, then i can feel better about being crap with a throw line....not that im insecure or anything .........
