"park font" font 9a ?
January 14, 2010, 01:26:34 am
ukc spouting articles about a guy climbing the world hardest boulder problem in hakney! my scepticism is at an all time high, also see the horrendous winter climbing techniques linked to a guy called "rad" Anyway I'm no authority on any of these things, but i id like to hear comments/ideas about the articles - discuss!

If it's on the internet it must be true.

I'll see your discuss and raise you a javelinn.

It's called Park Front.

Quote from: Rad Butts
'Just the day before I sent this V17, I suddenly noticed a white mark on my thumb-nail.  If you'd asked me a few seconds earlier: is there was a white mark on your thumb nail? I'd have said no.   But it was there all the time.  It was the same with my ascent.  Exactly the same.'

Sounds like Si O.

The next morning, Rad told me he was ready to do the problem. 'I've linked the moves' he said, adding 'in my sleep.'

This is a recognised technique for doing world class hard problems - its what that hero Scott did when he did the Ace.

You don't need to when you see it involves Rad Butts and Creagan Beaulay.

Anyone know of any bouldering projects that have been suggested at Font 9a (monster staminafest traverses don't count)?  If so, who out there is most likely to do the first (or are we still one or more generations away).

How did you get on?   ;)
Try the traverse of that face too, across the undercut thingy.  That'd be cool, and the key to a block girdle  :thumbsup:

Dense for president.

The UKC spoof was astonishingly predictable and unfunny.
