I know plenty about him and the climbing world, and the history of it, and have been involved in it personally since 1980, and have met many of the same people has, etc.

I stand by my statement. I'm not making assumptions, just observations. If he continues to climb for the audience he will end up dead. And they won't show that on TV, but they should, to be balanced and responsible.

And, yes, 5.11 is 'easy' but there are still hazards that are beyond his control, and 5.11 involves moves that are inherently insecure..that is what the rating means. 5.10a and above implies some level of dynamicism and/or trusting "nothing" holds or some combination thereof.

And, by the way, if he is "giving the money away" then your choice of the word "profession" is poor English.
