When you actually started calling, it went so much faster than I thought lol. Truly a whole different ball (wall) game. Massive props

Thats so cool! I can barely climb and I can see.

Interesting. It also kind of shows that depending on a great or bad caller the performance of a climber can vary. So in a way we could maybe say thats its kind of a team effort.

Absolutely turns climbing into a team sport, and a very unique relationship at that, need a lot of trust!
