excellent news and a truely hard problem. looks ace too

[dontfollowme]

Is that it? Thought was in Font?

"I think the grade is right for this problem, especially for shorter people. I had problems making the big span move and I had to use intermediate holds and I was completely stretched out. It took me four days to complete it.
It's interesting to see how very good shape for outdoor climbing helps for comps, as I was only #25 in the European champs."

copied the wrong bloody thing haha meant to post the link to the item not the photo of the climber
i hope there is footage and good photos of it.

[a dense loner]

nalle is no stranger to very hard climbing, so he would need neither for people who aren't ignorant to be satisfied

[philo]

i didnt mean it as a proof way, just like the climb and want to see more footage! pssssyche

"I think the grade is right for this problem, especially for shorter people."

how tall is Nalle? because i don´t think he is very short, i would say 1,75 m  maybe short for a finnish

[stevie haston]

Micki, he,s 1.73 ish, graham is supposed to be 1.78 but looks very tall to me, the prob looks ace and must be stacks harder for the finnish nail. Anyway can we claim as being british?Stevie.

mister kook is not as tall as them guys, but managed to span the moves




although its his lifetime project to climb the thing in question

If the numbers given are accurate, then yes he is. I'm 176cm and Kook is taller than me. 176 equates to 5'9 and a half. Ish.

DG didn't look especially tall when I saw him at the works lecture.

[n_man]

He has a huge ape index though. Apparently equivalent to somebody 6 foot 7 tall.

[neil h]

I have been climbing with DG he is smaller than me but god that man has arms. Kook is way shorter than me and I have a couple of inches on reach.

What kook lacks in reach he more than makes up in power.....


Anyway fine effort by all that can climb it, I couldnt even pull of the ground
