Keen roof had another ascent yesterday from Phil Rose after he had snatched defeat from the jaws of victory on several previous sessions

effort, from what i saw a week or two ago it was only a matter of time.

Ashima Shiraishi - another 8B.



"Steady Plums"

Here's a video with Robinson doing it, for an idea of how hard it looks.

Awesome. This finally puts to bed all the bollocks talked by naysayers about her only being good because she's light / small as she's clearly heavier than P-Rob.

Even my late grandma at 93 was more gangsta than P-Rob.
Then again: small fingers, every hold is a jug, if I had started at her age, etc. etc.

just wanted to give phil rose a mention as previously said he did keen roof the other day and made it look piss. He deserves everything he gets out of climbing too as he puts so much training in. beast!

Significant if only for the truly horrendous conditions he did it in, but the truly awesome Mawson did True North yesterday.
