And McColl picked Hubble?!
Not having a copy of Jerrys book to hand here at work other than in a glass case 'In event of emergency'didn't Jerry go to the states in about 84 and onsight Grand Illusion? Was the gear pre-placed then?It being a trad crack i'd thought it he'd done a trad style onsight placing gear on lead. Not passing judgment etc but I just hadn't realised this was how things were done then. As Yaniro mentions it was an interesting time, a lot of changing style and ethics. Really good little film that, these conversations with the protagonists are the most interesting part.
I don't think Jerry did Grand Illusion . His impressive US flashes were Equinox, Supercrack, Psycho Roof, Genesis and later the Phoenix.

I've never been to the States but if I recall he did flash the 7c/+s mentioned above. Not as far as I know Grand Illusion, it's 8a+ though isn't it?
Not all good news though - if it wasn't for this photo Dense wouldn't even be on here.
There you go: all the tricks, the world cup victories, the super modern training, can't get you up Hubble. http://www.youtube.com/v/5Nbzj3TxDKE
I might be the only holdout on McColl/Hubble but his latest post pretty much confirms a non-send. On a related note ..."Before I left, I received my knee-pad which I’ve been pretty excited to try out. It’s too bad I didn’t have it while trying Hubble 8c+ up in the UK but at least if I go back I’ll have something for that task."
