Remember him pulling up to the Tor about 7 or 8.

Did he yell to the cabbie "Yo homie smell ya later"?

Not really a can of worms. Well done Will on your first 9a, a grade confirmed by Chris Sharma, Adam Ondra and Ramonet among others. I would take that over J-Star-in-orbit and Jens-8a-in-orbit-around-himself.

I'm sure if a consensus was reached the grade would drop, so it should, but a few people suggesting it's piss is not a consensus it's a headline.

I thought The Wheel was easier than Era  and DG says that's 9a+, so maybe it's 9b?

You only did two moves out of 80 without the aid of a kneebar I heard though.  ;)

That's disappointing, I thought you might have out kneebarred DG. King of kneebars.

Went through the thread but still don't get it. Am I being particularly thick?
I was referring to Dave's joke, just to be clear.

None of which sheds light on the fact that "The Fresh Prince / The Prince of Bel-Air is the famous "Will Smith" of MiB / Wild Wild West / I, Robot / etc if you have never seen the programme.

Ahahahahah!
The disadvantages of watching it in Italian! Even the song was dubbed!

I knew about him because a friend of mine that played basketball with me was really into rap and hip-hop and introduced me to "DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince"!
At the time my tastes were more like Saxon, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and the likes...
Good memories.

I trust you were all shooting some b-ball outside of the school.

Haydn climbed Kabaah yesterday in what must be the latest ascent in the year of this route yet. Very impressive to watch, a very smooth ascent!  :icon_beerchug: :dance1: :strongbench:
