i said he had a video of the ascent so people would believe he'd done it, imagine claiming something and not videoing it.
I don't believe he's done it, so would you kindly upload the video to put my mind at rest.

Perhaps someone else could climb it whilst someone else films it and whoever edits it could pixelate out the face to avoid broadcasting restrictions?



(Looks like a great problem)

Good effort Ian it looks amazing.  But was this your bedtime book?
"In this profound and playful book, Nassim Nicholas Taleb presents his ideas about life in the form of aphorisms, the world’s earliest - and most memorable - literary form. Procrustes was a character from Greek mythology who abducted travellers and invited them to spend the night in a special bed, which they had to fit to perfection. They never did. Those who were too tall had their legs chopped off; those who were too short were stretched. Every aphorism here is about a Procrustean bed of sorts – we humans, facing the limits of our knowledge, the unseen and the unknown, resolve the tension by squeezing life and the world into crisp commoditized ideas, reductive categories, specific vocabularies and pre-packaged narratives. Only by embracing the unexpected – and accepting what we don’t know – can we see the world as it really is.
About the Author
Nassim Nicholas Taleb spends most of his time as a flâneur, meditating in cafés across the planet. A former trader, he is currently Distinguished Professor at New York University’s Polytechnic Institute. His books Fooled by Randomness and The Black Swan have been published in thirty-one languages."
Happy New Year to all.

Oh and with hindsight (at this time dwelling in a more rational and thus more socialised form of me) I apologise for any outbursts which some of you may have found challenging.  Though I do wonder if any apologies are necessary, if as it seems in times of
harmony, that all is one.  “Is it really that one of us is right and one of us is wrong?”[Lao Tzu] 
Peace

what is it with people sending these hard climbs and not wanting to put the footage up online? it makes no sense surely its something to show off/be proud of?

Yes, I am right and you are just plain wrong.

Some people dont like to show off, and pride comes before a fall. As climbers, falling is to be avoided generally.

Can someone able to do so repeat it and video it, and upload it? I want to see what the moves look like.

I've seen the video - they look like moves on a rock climb. Albeit hard ones.

Question is: is twinkle toes going to step in for a repeat and a downgrade?
