He told me he's been eating avocados, must be the new broccoli
Yesterday, 18 year-old Pete Dawson did Unjustified 2nd go, on his first day in Malham since he was climbing 7a.

(she lets her boyfriend do it)I'm slightly confused by that article. It's not like she hasn't been sponsored before:Five Ten BlogI'd assume it was her own choice to end her deal. Does she want to climb for her own enjoyment, or is she bitter about not being sponsored?
Not really significant, but Pierre Trolliet from Toulouse has repeated Stevie Haston's Descente Lolita, 9a in Sabart in Ariege. I think it is one of the first repeats. Descente Lolita adds an 8a+ extension to Descente aux enfers, 8c+, and according to Pierre the extension is way too easy to bump the grade, so he think that they should both be 8c+.
