What the hell was with the music in that Sharma video!?!?!? They film him playing the trumpet, flute and guitar but choose to put another song over the top! WHY?

Nice, I like the tenuous stretch for the good hold and the faffing around, makes it special.

Not to detract from a superb ascent, but what's the issue with "onsight"?
I take it the injuries are getting better, Nike? Effort

I'd class it as an on-sight, but that always opens a big can of worms, so let's class it as a very ethically sound ascent (VESA).

There have been a few threads on UKC with people spouting all sorts of opinions about what constitutes onsight climbing ( including gems such as: 'If I downclimb after a bit, come back a bit later and toprope the whole thing before coming back on the lead..... can I still 'claim' the onsight? - I kid you not. ) Some posters have however put forward a very strict interpretation of what onsight means ( I -ahem- may have been one of them ). So I guess that's Mark's allusion.

PS John Arran thinks I'm talking bollocks He might have a point

GCW · « **Reply #640 on:** March 28, 2010, 11:27:39 am »

Well, strictly if you've seen photos of it, watched Consumed, been told what the gear is etc it's not onsight. But in this media age it's hard to be so pure.

In my opinion, you take whatever style you feel is best as long as you're honest- as long as you can sleep at night it's fine.

Seems to me the term has been debased. I'd agree there's room for a little latitude but personally I'd say if you know anything that makes a material difference that isn't already in the guidebook or visible from terra firma (not including binocs) then it isn't onsight. Revelations for example is probably un-onsightable by a Brit - who doesn't know a bit about the moves?- it's too famous.
You could see a few photos of DCS, walk round the top and still do it onsight in my book. After all, what does all that tell you: it's slopey as an elephant's backside, has one big hold in the middle and the ground is quite hard??

Spot on. It's all about the spirit of the law rather than the letter of the law. Ethical guidelines are an attempt to codify different types of experience and it's the experience that is important (I happen to believe that the journey of discovery experience that is quantified as "on-sight" is the best quality experience).

Here's a video I prepared earlier.
Before the trad bells start alarming it is a crack line for some of the route- but the rock is too soft to be trad protected. Honest!
