Why is Chris nominated again this year? He's a legendary climber with an amazing history, but i can't think of any major breakthroughs / achievements from him this specific year. I could be very wrong and might have missed the big news.

Fill me in!

Even though it's boring to keep awarding it to the same guy, I don't see how anyone but Ondra could win this. Didn't he do more 9b routes this year than anyone else in the world did total 9a or above routes? If not, it must be true when you add in his 9a+ ones.

Yes, six very nice cedar trees. A woman was camping in one for a while. Not sure what the outcome was. I agree with you - I am more concerned about this than who gets public adulation. I find all this commercial hero stuff so boring I can hardly be bothered even thinking about it.
