i don't know how anyone with an interest in the progress of our sport can fail to be be interested in the progress being made on this route.

Agreed on the whole, though as has been said before each to their own.

However I definitialy don't know why anyone who isn't interested would feel the need to come on a thread like this (the clue is in the title!) to tell the rest of us that they aren't interested.

Good video btw.

Wonder what the deal is with it being made private? Presumably given the two climbers involved the place is a veritable orgy of pro film makers. Did some amateur rock up at the bottom of the crag with his iphone and ruin the exclusivity?

But Sharma's put the time in; homeground advantage?

It is/was a decent vid (with 720p and 1080p options for playback on YouTube) and was using a tripod so probably not that.

Clearly, because amateurs never take HD camcorders or tripods to the crag these days, and easyclimbing.cz has high-profile partnerships with both climbers.

Not that I'm saying this is certainly an amateur job, it just looks like it probably is.

In any case, none of this should concern you, because it is distasteful, needless hype-building and no one has actually climbed anything yet.

Let me be a little clearer then...I very much doubt it was shot on a camera phone.

I didn't say I wasn't interested in the process.  You are however correct that I think the over-hyping of it into a race/competition as it was initially reported on 8a.nu is distasteful though.  My experience is that climbers are generally supportive of each other, even when they are working on the same project/problem regardless of the level at which they climb.

More stating the obvious for Baldy who didn't realise that people are different.

Lovely, glad we got that little miscommunication cleared up then.

Let me formally welcome you back into the hype-building fold with this giant foam finger, I presume you'll be rooting for Sharma:

Couldn't care less.

It'll be impressive when either of them get up it (which is where my interest lies rather than the faux competition).

Cliff Burton was an amazing bass player....until the tour bus he was travelling in crashed throwing him out the window and crushing him when it toppled onto him.

Sorry thought about that afterwards and realised I should have used Wolfgang Gullich as an example.

He looks to be.

I too would like this to be Sharma's swan song, or am I writing him off too early?

re: competition

It's a great thing, I couldn't care less about what 8a.fu says as I just dont read it. Hell even unfriendly competition is good in my book, there be legends and controversy. Life would be crap if we all got along.

Gonna be weird seeing the moves the right way round (yes I did google for desktop mirroring but didn't find much help in my short patience span). Nice interviews.
