There was always going to be sour grapes. Stevie called it 9a and the boys did it in 2 days

Nice idea by mike m on the super topo forum:

Looks like you could do it by putting a bunch of logs across crack and then dropping cordage from the logs through the roof. Would eliminate the climbing around the gear factor.

If that's true, then carrying a rack with you for the onsight/super clean ascent would seem a ridiculous contrivance, since you can place the protection from the ground...

I bet Stevie Haston or Chuck Norris could do it placing logs on the lead

Posting it went against the grain I was in knots about whether to or not, and now I feel like a right plank.

You son of a beech. I pine for a time when these puns blow away in the autumn breeze. We need to branch out from them.

I don't know anything about crack climbing (I never did it) and ethics (I am Italian), but I can comprehend Haston's thoughts. I only think that it's not very nice that he didn't congratulate with the boys for what is clearly a step forward, maybe towards a purer ascent placing gear, which is still up for grabs, so Haston can still do it.

Erm, excuse me but ....

I've been reading up on Val di Mello (chuffing) lately, and it seems to me that the locals there - Italian - have no problem at all with voluntarily scaring oneself shitless ethics.

Where they will happily climb over you if they think you're going too slow (although to be fair this only happened once whilst we were on the first Sella Tower, and they were polite enough to wait whilst I reversed and found the correct way through the crux).

 ;D fair enough!!!
I was only joking about a general lack of ethic principles in Italy in general, especially politics. it wasn't absolutely referred to climbing.
I didn't think anyone would have taken me seriously!!!
