I haven't a clue, but ye olde google has informed me that he uses the idiom "be hoist with one's own petard" in Hamlet.

Not that I know what an idiom is either, for that matter.

dusty bump.

With things being dry this year, i thought it was time to dust this off. Dolph repeated Sean's roof yesterday as a boulder problem above pads. Although some boulderers may wish to claim it to the birds nest hole as a soft 8a/ hard 7c+ in its own right.

It is also WAY harder to do the end without a rope as the rope friction/ tension which is pretty unavoidable really takes the kick out the swing, making a pretty consistent move on the rope a much harder proposition above pads.

props to mark leach for doing it without pads!
