What a wadess. Really impressive. Is this the first repeat?

Good luck to them on Requiem.

I did say a bit... Also there's some interesting bits of her previous exploits which I didn't know 

[tomtom]

Great repeat though!

On the topic of Eurowads at Dumbarton Rock, PlanetMountain has some additional info about Barbara Zangerl's ascent of Achemine, which makes a casual mention of the fact that she quickly climbing Requiem before working on Achemine:

Gabri Moroni did Practice of the Wild!
It's on 8a.

Wads rock climbing in Scotland, is this another of those Climb the Classics missions?

Just got the Moon newsletter - it had this paragraph

"After a remarkable career including the world’s first 9a (“Hubble”), last year Ben Moon achieved what many thought to be impossible by repeating the climb over 20 years after its first ascent."

Did Ben Moon re-climb Hubble last year?

[fatneck]

Followed the link through to the website and it says:

"After a remarkable career including the World’s first 9a “Hubble”, last year, 25 years after climbing his first 9a, Ben Moon climbed his 2nd 9a “Rainshadow”."

[Fiend]

Is that actually grammar or just using the wrong word, i.e. "climb" instead of "grade"??

[slackline]

The omission of the commas from that which csl wrote makes a difference to how you read.  Omit the commas around the "last year" and you would think that it is saying that Hubble was climbed last year...

"After a remarkable career including the world’s first 9a (“Hubble”), last year

... but then they also changed the subsequent wording from that which is on the blog post (its as fatneck copy and pasted it). 

Ben Moon achieved what many thought to be impossible by repeating the climb over 20 years after its first ascent."

Of course this could be how it was written in the newsletter itself rather than the blog, but I got the impression the newsletters (which I used to receive) were automatically generated from blog posts, although the later may have been subsequently modified.

Of course, what's really significant here, is that nothing has changed over the past quarter of a century or more.

If you find you can't cut it on Peak lime, you go to Yorkshire where everything's easier.

Strangely, there are those who still try to claim that the climbing is simply better in Yorkshire, but everyone knows that that's rubbish.

It's an absolute tottering pile of choss. Steer clear if I were you.

What made you think I rewrote this and made a mistake? It was copy and pasted verbatim from the email newsletter, it was obviously different than the blog, hence the confusion.

This is perhaps the most significant thing that has ever happened in UKB's history. What has happened here is that, in his fervour to post a mildly amusing internet meme to this thread, the Slackbot, the most advanced biocomputer in the known universe, has made a mistake.
This creates an interesting paradox since it is physically, literally, and absolutely impossibly for the Slackbot to be incorrect about anything at all.

What we are about to witness is how the Slackbot's circuitry copes with this impossible paradigm. My money is on a long series of posts that posit that the Slackbot is actually correct and we just can't see it because we operate on a different quantum plain. These posts will continue until either everybody else stops suggesting that Slackbot got it wrong, or until the end of time itself, whichever is sooner. The coming days and months should be very illuminating.

There is no time.

Init.

In Unix-based computer operating systems, init (short for initialization) is the first process started during booting of the computer system. Init is a daemon process that continues running until the system is shut down.

I hear Pete Chadwick has climbed his first 8b+ at Malham! Any details? Not sure if it's hugely significant but he is nearly 50... #wad

Great Escape, Malham. Old skool Brit doing his first 8b+ at 49 is definitely worth a mention.
