Dyno World-record holder Skyler Weeks has completed a first ascent of a huge new dyno problem in America. The problem named Zion is tentatively graded V13 and is one of the largest and hardest 'jug to jug' dynos in the World.

Chuck Fryberger comments on his website:

“Skyler has taken dyno climbing somewhere it hasn't been before... to him it's not really a party trick for gym sessions or for laughs. Get this: He trains alongside the Denver Nuggets. His vertical leap is over 30" which is pretty good even by NBA standards...”

Zion, which is around 2.6 metres in length has awkward foothold positions making it more difficult to leap. Given that the record Skyler set recently at the Cliffhanger competition in Sheffield was 2.65 metres, Zion is obviously very hard and a very big dyno.

Is 30" a lot then?

Have you seen Spinal Tap? "Your 12 `foot' model of Stone Henge was in danger of being stepped on by a dwarf" If that Dyno's 30'' jug to jug I reckon it's easier static.

I could have sworn I saw a clip on youtube of some basketball payer jumping five foot from a standing start. Actually of course a vertical leap is measured from the difference between fingertip stretch on the floor and in the air, isn't it? So jumping five foot with legs tucked up is no indication. I believe this dyno is 102' from jug to jug and was only achieved on the 76th day of trying, so it's probably quite hard. It would undoubtedly be a mighty pisser if a static alternative were discovered, assuming that is that the problem wasn't simply an eliminate in the first place. jcm

Random Fact: The average NBA vertical leap is a measly 28" I think you need to read more slowly!
