Sorry, I'll insert a smiley each time I make a joke, in case it's not obvious.
Josh Ibbotson - Northern Lights on Friday. Mega effort and persistence. Watched him get so, so close a couple of weeks ago, being maybe one foot move from success, so great to see he was able to get it over the line this season. Edit - ha remus beat me to it
Ella Russell has ticked per project, Gringer 8b+, in the frankenjura. By my count that makes her the 13th British woman to climb 8b+ or harder.
Given it's perhaps the most famous 9a in the world, and the general world standard, that seems a very low number of ascents.

Aside from the fact that it's Instagram so all it boils down to is look-at-me-love-me-please shitposting,
Quote from: Will Hunt on September 07, 2021, 12:06:42 pmAside from the fact that it's Instagram so all it boils down to is look-at-me-love-me-please shitposting,At some point this popular opinion needs a thread of it's own, to either justify or refute. To my mind the same logic can to a greater or lesser extent be applied to all forms of self expression (including posting opinions on forums) which stray beyond the strict bounds of personal necessity. Why is IG categorically different to any other platform du jour. Yes, perhaps it does foster a particularly vacuous and narcissistic style but that doesn't mean all content fits that label. In the modern world you have the choice to be a techno hermit or to choose your poison vis-a-vis where you 'speak', some people prefer the visual.
