All highly entertaining.

James, sorry I got the facts wrong. Should have E7. Though I think doing kaluza as your second lead makes the same point! This is not meant as a criticism in any way - just trying to illustrate to Andy that the way folk get into hard grit has radically changed since he was on the scene.

[Bubba]

Lordy  :shock:

I know. Sorry, I obviously got carried away.

It's ok, it was CT

[a dense loner]

oh my god, what have we become? can we get back to the original jist of the thread which is taking photo's of probs with huge ticks on them.

maybe another thread can be started with the title "it's really ok to top-rope downhill racer?"

[Fiend]

BTW I didn't link that thread to get at Keenus, just to show a prior example of the debate. Hope that's clear.


Dense, I started another thread, but it dropped down pretty quick  :?

Besides with the current weather most tick marks will be dissolved and floating half-way to the coast already  :wink:

that's much better

Anyone recognise the sequence for The Knock... I hope they aren't claiming E4.

Where has this ethic come from?

[Fiend]

WTF?

Is my computer displaying images wrong?
Is this a rare troll by an otherwise sound UKB member?
Am I fucking hallucinating?

I am having a lot of difficulty believing that is real, I can't comprehend such idiocy! That is about as far removed from the simple act of "climbing routes" as it gets!

[Stubbs]

Was there a note by the break to remind them what size gear they needed too?  ???

[BenF]

Maybe a flock of tiny birds were resting on the various edges and they all shat at the same time, leaving little white trails down the route?

[cowboyhat]

Imagine how confused I was when I saw it. All I had to take the picture was my phone.

And I was giving a really strong euro wad a tour of all the inspiring hard routes at Burbage, he was so psyched by Equilibrium and Parthian then...

[Bubba]

Where has this ethic come from?

Probably from seeing photos and videos of people doing similar things on hard problems / routes.

Who cares so long as they clean it off afterwards. That's my only beef with it, that people are too fucking lazy to wipe their shit off afterwards.

Fuck that must have been boring?

or

who was monday? fit?

[SA Chris]

I think it's a typo.

I'm sure he means Mandy.

[Moo]

Wow i just read this thread cover to cover (skipped some of the boring bits admitedly). As some of you may know I recently undertook a few interviews with climbers as part of my dissertation, naturally style did come up quite frequently in my interviews but few saw it as being linked fully with the proggression of climbing, though all noted that there was a definite influence on it. I believe there is probably more to the proggression of climbing as a sport, particularly trad climbing, than the style in which new routes are ascended. Respect for the postings though its good to see a well conducted debate. (I'm shitting myself about this karma thing ever since earl came on tv).

[Palomides]

My cross-posting old thread-bumping rampage continues....

Back from page 4, and back on topic with this multiple-angle tickmark delight

From sabots. Apparently visible with the naked eye from space.

Is that the hard-to-see foothold on Sal Gosse? I would have thought it'd be easier to see the hold itself than the the chalk above it cos of the rock angle...

probably find it's a totally different problem now...

[Bonjoy]

If there was ever a hold that didn't need a tickmark....!

Sorry, totalyl missed this when you asked. Haven't got a scooby what the problem is, not very good with naming problems in Font.
