WHAT??! Angels barefoot? Ive heard that HB use to do it in like an hour or something solo. THAT I believe. Barefoot? The whole thing is one long T-Bar. Does the guy even have feet? Maybe hes like that hard climbing american amputee who has like inspector gadget leg attachments for different crack sizes.... At any rate, he wouldnt have any feet after doing angels barefeet. I will agree that if he did climb it barefoot its an impressive ascent(not saying I believe it). Are you sure his name isnt Fred Flintstone?
