We all know about downgrades for those of average height, but do we also need to start collecting shin length data now?

That's ace! Only the third ascent since the flake broke I think? After Bransby and Mawson.

Rumour of the second ascent of another route at the Tor today. You got any intel Remus?

No inside knowledge, sorry! I can guess what you're hinting at though, cool news if it's true.

Maybe there’s some analytics out there that shows you maximise exposure if you post your big news at a particular time across all media platforms? If there isn’t, I’m launching a new marketing agency…

Got to wait for the official band of birds news release. The numbers are still being crunched for the highest impact release strategy. Do you drop on GMT highest engagement time or do you go global? Do you go waterfall or tsunami? So many things to consider.

edit: Stabbsy beat me to it ;D

Apparently they are still proofreading Jens' 8a.nu article, so we might be waiting some time.

Won't there be a teaser post first? A close-up photo of a hold with just a green tick for a caption.

Every time I’m reminded that Will Bosi (and presumably other climbers) has an agent I can’t help but wonder why that’s even necessary… climbing’s bigger than ever but has the number of people who care whether he’s done Mutation or not increased?

Obviously the likes of us do and there’ll be a few articles in your Grimpers and your Rocks and Ices so our counterparts in other countries can be as mildly interested  as we are when we read about longstanding unrepeated lower-9th-grade routes getting ascents in places we’ve heard of but probably won’t ever visit, but will a perfectly-timed announcement really be the difference between him being on Shreddies boxes for the next six months and having to go and work on an oil rig? Is he making enough from climbing that 15% of it is enough to run a talent agency with? Am I naïve about how much money is involved in rock climbing nowadays?

Edit: I remembered that he does comps. The money probably comes from doing comps doesn’t it?

I don't know why you're all complaining, time was you'd be waiting for the next issue of OTE to hear about it, unless you heard it on the grapevine....as has already happened.

Won't there be a teaser post first? A close-up photo of a hold with just a green tick for a caption.
