Joe Kinder is a few years old. At 36 years of age he is one of the older semesters in the professional climber scene. He only recently climbed his most difficult route to date. He managed the first ascent of last autumn Bone Tomahawk (9a, hard).
In an interview with Black Diamont, Joe Kinder says, “If I Bone Tomahawk If you compare it to the other 9a routes, it is tough and the ascent also took longer than the others. But that's also because it was a first ascent. This is usually much more difficult than the second ascent or one repetition. First ascents involve a lot of mental demands, there are doubts and you have to believe in yourself. ”You can find the video of the first ascent below.
