Can someone translate that into emoji?
Is it:
  
instead of
 

?

As a side note pretty sure he has also claimed traverse grades as full font grades....

Fou Rire?

Possibly a genuine mistake.

On his 8a scorecard for dark matter stand he says no score taken-why would you do this if you'd done it? He has taken the score for it incidentally.

Possibly, big difference between 8b and ~7c+ though

I can see how climbing with people that think you are awesome could quite quickly lead to the belief that you have climbed something hard. especially if some of them believe that they too are capable of climbing a similar grade, but have failed to manage to even pull onto whatever you were trying.

to me it seems like an extreme case of "the blinkered wannabe hero down the wall" who climbs with an entourage of  (slightly less capable) others that continually reinforce the belief that he is a beast, which isn't very helpful for anyone involved. at least you can have a laugh at the wall hero's expense

is it time this thread was split into an EBB split from film proof discussion split from significant repeats, or is it just logpile time?

[andy popp]

Log.

I meant to thank mr pj for coming up with some info, but forgot and just spouted bile instead. Thanks pj

Without knowing any of the particularities, I think it is much better to air this kind of things in public forums than handle it like it's handled in France, Catalonia or Sweden. “Everyone” knows that certain climbers ticklists are partly or mostly pure fantasy, but nobody says anything publicly, it's just Chinese whispers all around. Questionable routes might be featured with name and grade in guidebooks but in a nudge-nudge-wink-wink fashion, as only gumbies/outsiders would assume from their presence in the guidebook that they have been climbed.

Log.

I'll only believe its been log piled when someone posts a video of Shark log piling it....

[lagerstarfish]

I've got a photo to prove it

[tomtom]

That's a fake! Everyone knows the log pile is red!

[Jim]

why has this been log-piled out of curiousity?
Obviously its not a particulary pleasant topic but does need to be out in the open
(plus its some juicy gossip now I'm old, decrepid and generally out of the loop!)

Well I did suggest splitting it as the other option, since it had become entirely devoted to one man's 8a account

Sorry Rodma I've been busy this week and last!

Still not sure how to add an image... :/ Is it possible? once I know I will add it. Although I sure its about two move into the original line. But according the the vague description in 7+8 "Start low on a mono in the middle of the roof and undercling underneath" i could have easily been there. The start ellis did was two / three moves off the dyno to the lip. If that helps.

So a witness sees him link Dark Matter to the last move (8B link?) and he started Fatman in the wrong place, not the most controversial stuff I've ever heard.

I wanna hear how he ran a 10 second 100m and beat up Dolph Lundgren in no rules street fight!

It might just be really close?

[Fiend]

Really tiny climber. And surely
