Nemo why don't we need proof off John but we do off others? I'm intrigued
confirmed bullshitters (Si O aside as he's a mental) always seem to manage to cash-in
You can make a sketchy case either way. What’s the point? There isn’t enough info to make a strong case either way, so it’s all just statements of faith. Both sides cases have merit, neither has more weight than the other. Which side people fall on seems more to do with them and their world view than the merits of the evidence. Why can’t people just accept this is an unanswerable question, it’s a maybe rather than a yes or no? Mu, mu, sad but true.
No bullshitters have been confirmed, you can't confirm anything after the fact. Loads of people on here, the majority, thought Simpson was the real deal. A few people called him out, so to speak, loads on here were defending him to the hilt, saying stuff like I saw him do x I saw him do y I know someone who belayed him on z. Myself and a few others got a bit of flak over this. Even the marathon and the boxing didn't persuade people, only when the Brandler- hasse story came out did everyone jump on the bandwagon and say what a bullshitter he was, and take every oppurtunity to bring his name up in these cases. So I'm sorry if someone who many people who saw him over many times doing mutant stuff, cos he was in a different league strength wise, turns out to be doubted, or as a confirmed bullshitter yet someone who has been seen to do nx to nothing yet has a cult following of people who claim his stuff to be among the hardest problems in the world gets a free pass. Absolute madness is what all this reads as
I'd say this is the perfect example of how useful uncut footage can be, especially for climbers coming off the competition circuit who don't have the benefit of a season of hard outdoor sends to their name because of that time commitment.
QuoteLying makes no sense to me unless you’re weak and have alot to prove. Strong climbers are strong fact.Although this would seem to be counter to the most notorious recent case. Why is Britain so obsessed with using the term 'strong' instead of 'good'? As dense will tell you, being strong is barely half the story...

[lol, dude overuse of the word "strong" is hardly a british phenomenon. what really tickles me is when its used to describe a climber with the BMI of your average pre-adolescent girl.

I don't get you. This guy has loads of witnessed and filmed quick hard ascents (e.g) to his name plus everyone has seen what a total monster he is on the comp circuit. Surely the perfect example of someone who has absolutely no need for video evidence of every hard problem he does (and he had at least one witness there too)?
unchallengable evidence of his accent
