It's a good list.
I'm pretty certain FB did Statement at LPT but am much less sure about NG, probably best not to take my failing memory as gospel.
This thread seems a little patronising...
Seems a bit of a weird thread in general...

Interestingly I was chatting about it with my girlfriend last night and she expressed a similar sentiment. It's certainly not meant to be patronising, so it's a shame if it comes across like that.
The thread does not resonate with me personally. (Had a conversation with someone at the crag about this earlier this week and both of us were uncomfortable with it to some degree). I’m going to be devils advocate and try to provoke a few thoughts - so do you think it would be fine to have a thread titled “disabled people who’ve recently climbed >=7a”?

What reeve said. I can't see how this is patronising. I also can't see how this is any different from any discussion of female records in any sports. Would you object if someone made a list of the fastest uk female sprinters?

In sprinting - they may list the fastest men and fastest women in the world etc...but They don’t say “women who can run under 11 seconds are...”
