simple, duh of course. did anyone see the well given attention give to meagan martin over her completion of the american ninja warrior course? i would love to get on that obstacle in a non-nation wide televised event; hopefully it doesn't become another lucrative franchise thing like all the warrior-mud-runs and such. anyways did anyone notice that matt wilder also completed the course? i've seen him in a bunch of climbing videos but had never heard off martin until that competition. how come i haven't seen anything in any of the climbing social media feeds?

...........where does Bruce Lee fit in to any of this?

Either way, to answer your question, it was a huge deal for Martin because she was the third woman to ever complete the course. And everyone is already kind of over it. With Matt I'm sure there was some recognition but nothing major. I feel like the climbing community would be more stoked on something like Alex Puccio's recent v13 repeat than American Ninja Warrior to be honest. Just my two cents

To answer the post title, YES!!! I think Bruce Lee could've been an incredible climber, guy had amazing strength, flexibility and unmatched focus.

Bruce Lee would have been a great climber! Everything Nick Votto said, plus he had super great balance. Only thing that could have stopped him would have been a fear of heights.

Any one have any ideas for other random celebs or athletes in other sports who would have all the climbing skills pre-dialed in?

P.S. Meagan Martin is always climbing in the comp circuits with Sasha, AJ and Puccio, she's been around for a bit. Instagram is @meaganmagoo

I heard that eating too much raw garlic can trigger migraines. Anyone know if that's true?

Bruce could climb 5.14 while he was kicking the crap out of chuck Norris.
