Jimmy Webb (climber)

Jimmy Webb is a professional rock climber specializing in bouldering. He is one of a handful of climbers who have climbed the boulder grade V15 (8C). Webb was the men's winner of the 2013 Psicobloc Masters Series held in Park City, UT. He beat out several of the world's best climbers to win the event, including: Chris Sharma, Daniel Woods, Dave Graham, Tommy Caldwell, and Carlo Traversi. In spring 2014, Webb climbed The Understanding and Practice of the Wild, both V15, within a week of each other. In November 2014, he repeated Defying Gravity which was originally climbed by Daniel Woods a year before.

Webb has climbed the boulder the first time trying, or flashed, six V13 or harder boulder problems. Dead Point Magazine says "it’s not a stretch to consider Jimmy the world’s best flash boulderer."

Webb is the premier athlete supported by Southern California based surf & stone apparel brand HippyTree.

    Famous quotes by Jimmy Webb:

    "The creative processes are so mysterious."
    "We as songwriters are in the same position as a professional fisherman. Our fishing grounds are kind of fished out."
    "We are trying to describe the indescribable. It's impossible, but I'm going to try it anyway, and take what you can from it."
    "I don't know whether I would or whether I could,"
    "I started out quite instinctively, mainly imitating songs that I heard on the radio and then the follow-up six or so months later. It was really quite an education to hear another song crafted pretty much in the same vein, to appeal to the same audience, creating hits for that same artist, ... That was an important tool to compare one's work to that. It was a yardstick by which I used to judge my work."
    "I think the individual writers are out there punching away but the market is not there. The Top 40 as we knew it was a kind of open forum where people could come and sing their songs and that's not there any more."
    "I say in my book that a lot of the music our forebears created was written for rich, snotty, snobby people who had enough money to buy theatre tickets. There was a great deal of trivia, a shallow quality to things ... ... You know, that 'I've got rhythm, I've got ...', there's something about it that's not very serious, and at least popular music during our generation began crossing over into an area where it was saying something about the conditions that prevailed."
    "I got three other guys to play with me, got on a bus, and started playing folk clubs and dives. A lot of times the reception was semi-hostile, like 'What are you doing here? You're rich, and you're probably a Republican as well!'"
    "You reach a certain point in your life where they things you do and say do make a difference."
    "The people who are making money are the ones who are writing and singing their own songs."

    El Mirage

    by: Jimmy Webb

    There's a decade in an hour
    Your whole life's in a single day
    And you're reaching for the moments
    As the seconds slip away
    And I see you at a party
    But I'm closer to the stars
    And I'm closer to the teacups
    Where the universes are
    Where the universes are
    Where the universes are
    And I stumble to my car
    Sweet Lord, I'm off to find another bar
    I'm off to find another bar
    And I'll miss you in the island
    And I'll miss you at the fair
    And I'll miss a lot of places
    'Cause my love, you won't be there
    And I don't know where I'm goin'
    But I know I'm goin' far
    If I see you out there someday, baby
    Where the universes are
    Where the universes are
    Where the universes are
    And I stumble to my car
    Sweet Lord, I'm off to find another bar
    I'm off to find another bar
