....the swedish lad who was 2nd resembles Dolph Lundgren....
Anyone who's climbed with Hamish recently will know he is one of the most gifted young climbers with no ego whatsoever. He is generally bemused by the attention, happy to be just loving his climbing.To defend his honour though as it has been publicly questioned, it was 20 minutes in one session and he found the sit start to Carnage way harder. To demean his talent and his mental attitude (he always gives 100%) by belittling both he and the route shows a severe lack of respect for other climbers and more than a hint of insecurity.As for the BBC's, if you were there you would know that a) being 14 and pint sized he is competing against others who are of adult stature - the swedish lad who was 2nd resembles Dolph Lundgren, and b) competing in competitions brings performance pressures to different people in different ways. He will almost certainly be atop the podium next year - unless its sunny and the crags are calling.....I'll be doing a little Q&A with Hamish next week for the TCA website. Keep a future look out for James Squire, another of our 14 year old youth squad members too, he is doing some impressive outdoor problems under the radar in the Bristol area.
If he found carnage assis harder i think that proves my point of the problem being really suited to him.
Its one of those problems which is really suited to shorter people i think

I see, finally a proper answer. Cheers, yeah the lads a beast. 20 minutes, good going. If he found carnage assis harder i think that proves my point of the problem being really suited to him.Ive attempted the bbc`s a few times myself as a junior a few years ago and it is hard. The geezer who won is not the tallest but probably taller than Hamish. Sure next year will be a good year for him

Keep going. (Maybe one of the Liverpool lot might want to have a word with him?)
I've never met JCM but I know Beastio pretty well. He's been a class A dick with this thread and he knows it now - we gave him quite a reception at the wall last night. However, he is actually a nice lad and given that he's only 17, he usually acts in quite a mature manner. I know I acted like a cock quite a lot when I was 17 (and continue to do so, people will no doubt point out), but hopefully with the careful tutorage of Richie Crouch and other people on the scene in Liverpool, Beastio will mature into a tower of sensible behaviour.Beastio is away for the weekend with a whole bunch of us, so once we've finished taking the p*ss out of him, we'll have lots of man-to-man chats and pass on some hard earned nuggets of wisdom regarding hubris, internet decorum and footwork.
