Oh so you're saying that trad climbing is rubbish are you?! Typical smug superior UKB scum, the air of malice on this thread is palpable.
Who said it? Was it Alan Arete?
As a matter of interest, does anyone actually use the word "sent" in reference to a boulder problem?
nice one! got a few snaps of his earlier attempts, glad he's done it.
Yes, FFA. Didn't McClure basically do it with a fall and yo yo? I would have thought the 'crux' with a route like this is getting a partner to climb all the approach pitches and hang in hanging belays, for you to take the glory on the roof pitch!
That's what it says on the blog. Maybe his partner had had enough, hence no desire to have another shot. I think they were time restricted.
Is this the same place as that OTE article which was supposed to be an attempt on the Nose but weather/birds prevented it so they sacked it to Pabbay?
