If ever a thread needed the insights of a dense loner, then this is the one.

I thought this was significant repeats not significant rumours  :-\

exactly.

I think a few people need to look at how they're dealing with this and take a lesson or two from history.

No wonder he's reluctant to say what he's done.  :shrug:

Well it sounds like he doesn't know what he's done so keeping stchum probably is the best option.the top out must have been iced up badly.no one would jump off the easy top out of one ofthe classic hard problems in Britain just cos its slighly sketchy.

He's started losing sponsors already ;)

If its any help, I have a picture (genuine) of no-one doing the Ace and another of no-one doing the Joker to back up none of the statements above??

Given he seems to be jibing it somewhat:

If The Ace is the sitter to a one move wonder off two crimps

yet has a proven track record on some of this island's shittest problems, I think we've either got a man whose life is a 'ruthless rejection of any ideals of line or quality' to quote Grimer or... he's the promised son of Johnny G. God help us.

Sam has very little hair.

When I spoke to him 3 months ago he was laughing at someone saying he'd done Voyager as he said he'd never been near it.

Chaos reigns, next time I see him I'll chat and see.

I think he is trying to create as much confusion as possible by telling half the people he meets he's done it and half he hasnt just so he can watch this thread and have a quite little chuckle to himself  :lol:

Regarding Isla. He started undercut with left hand, right hand on the crimp. So in theory he hasn't done it, but he doesn't care.

depends if you view a 4m roof at 85 degree with only 3 'holds' as shit, aesthetics or imagination, both have beauty. as does an 8m traverse on the foot holds of a V8 into a V10, which equates to another shit V13/4

He told me ages ago he'd done Ace to the lip and jibbed the top due to weather (snow and/or ice I think) can't quite remember as it was ages ago and I believe him.  Below forcast for said period.

''December saw the beginning of the longest cold snap since 1981, one that was to last well into 2010. Heavy rain and snow caused significant travel disruption across the country, particularly affecting travel over the Christmas period.  A minimum temperature of -18.4C was recorded in Braemar, Aberdeenshire.'' BBC - Weather - 2009 was a washout year

Personally, given the circs I'd have taken that for a tick (and yes would have disclosed the style).

I can confirm it was fooking cold in Aberdeenshire at that time if it helps clear things up.

Yeh me point was this was the only weather forcast I could find for the said period.  I thought I'd throw it in as it is factual supportive evidence (it did state the UK was baltic) for the Pro Sam camp.  :weakbench:

I understand the intention, but no-one was asking for hard evidence. I think most of us can remember back that far :)

The problem with these threads are nobody ever provides hard evidence so I thought I'd break the mould.....however if we use hard evidence we might draw the thread to a conclusion and thus eliminate our chances of slagging the fella off for another 90+ pages. 

I'm just saying instead of rumour and character assassination  :chair: why not use a holistic approach and look for details surounding the alledged event.   :-\
