nobodys even commented when i saw it this morning, i think there's some kind of funny thing over there with james. I say top marks, cracking route, cracking style. still i think you'll be right, not long and it'll descend into bitching, but thats what its always like mind.

1hr 35mins, the other channel is losing its touch...

I give it 15 mins before someone says "how can it be an on-sight when he's already climbed From a Distance"

(good effort by the way - looks like a brilliant route)

Well, how was your timing?? Good reply BTW, completely crushed the idiots. Good effort James indeed!

SA Chris · April 20, 2011, 10:40:36 pm

Pearsons onsighted point blank at stennis according to the other channel!

According to James, Cara tried it as her 2nd ever trad lead (pre-placed gear?) and took the 15m lob. Waddage to the French waddess

Grubes · April 25, 2011, 06:36:54 pm

according to his blog James Pearson has flashed Daddy cool E8.
Wonder if he will go for a flash on an E9 or even Muy Caliente?

nai · April 25, 2011, 07:08:35 pm

Great Stuff

Looks like he's thinking of harder things according to his previous post

Developing my sport fitness has changed my climbing more than I would have ever imagined. Apart from the obvious act of no longer falling off after doing more than 5 hard moves, I am approaching climbing in a different way to before. After a frustrating plateau period, climbing has become exciting again, as I can now see a path to where I want to be. The path is not going to be easy, in fact it is full of rocks and very steep, but it is a path none the less.

When I viewed life wearing the blinkers of a UK Trad climber, on-sighting E8 was something I considered as almost godly, but now I realise it is far, far away from what is possible even at this current time, let alone in the future. Sure, there are many E8’s that I wouldn’t dream of attempting in this manner, climbs that whilst perhaps technically easy, are so insecure in a deadly place, that I personally can’t justify. However, there are just as many E8’s and above that are well protected but physically hard, that become possible once ones physical level surpasses a certain point. You just have to be able to hold on...

Did Ruth Jenkins do Zeke?

Jaspersharpe · April 26, 2011, 08:24:28 am

Really impressive stuff from JP. Like the comments about hard but safe trad. One would hope this would shut the fuckwits up but I realise that's unlikely.

cofe · April 26, 2011, 08:34:15 am

Spot on Jasper. And good effort again James.

Richard Sharpe · April 26, 2011, 07:17:26 pm
