An ascent by Shark?
Dunno, presume there was a rope in place.

Everything that constitues the aura that surround the route.If the anecdotes are not widely known then how can they be adding to the aura of the route?

Jesusfuckingchrist Slackers, you're so boring.
Oh, and sorry for mistyping the title, could some Overlord correct it?

Its not a competition. Now everyone will just be after proof, proof, proof. Its pathetic. Stuff them all. It is the beauty of the line that interests me. And the MOVE. The hard work paid off. It was amazing the way it all came together on the day. I'm just happy knowing I've done it. And that's enough 8c+ or 9a?

And that's enough 8c+ or 9a?Hard to tell - it was quite greasy. Probably 9a+ in the conditions. Still not as hard as VNB though. And I don't care about grades. It's the challenge. And the line. And the Move. And of course the people -although there wasn't anybody there that day. Sometimes it's about the solitude

Sometimes it's about the solitudeI know I am an unengaging chap, but completely forgetting about my presence seems a bit remiss. Don't you remember - I didn't have a guidebook, so I did that route you recommended - next to the one you were on - can't quite recall the name - Brandenburg thingummy? Really dusty and unclimbed seeming - climbed nicely though - you got a but huffy and said I lanked it?

He had left a rope attached to the belay, so he could get back to the ground.
Yeah its all coming back now. Used to see Grimer there a lot. We used to call him G on account of that being the first letter of his name. Not the brightest though. Said he wanted to be a writer. How we laughed. Might have been thick but his footwork was fucking GENIUS. He struggled on Hubble though. Must have took him four, five maybe even six hours. I told him - you can stuff your fancy footwork - you need POWER. That spurred him on. Then he disappeared off the scene. Wonder whatever happened to him? Happy days
