This quiz is stolen directly from the rudest facebook-page on climbing

Quote from: Arnaques, Grimpe et Polémiques
Who has written all these visionary sentences:

  • “The 8cs of the era are and will always be a lot harder than those of today”
  • “Ondra is the best climber in the world because he did Super Plafond onsight”
  • “I hope that you, in your lifetime, will put up as many major routes as I did”
  • “Lynn Hill has an ego without boundaries”
  • “My climbs are more valuable than those of Edlinger”
  • “The 8c+linkup in Orgon, it's not Spain....”


:D

Anak Verhoven suggested hard 8b+ for the 8c+ linkup in Orgon. Bindhammer said easy 8c...

If it's all one person, then given the era, the French focus and the Paris-vs-Provence thing,  I'm going to agree with Mr Jonathan: Jibé

Ahahahah! Just Do It getting repeats by second grade mini wads, and Hubble spitting off all the world's best pros. Where's your fucking god now, Jibé.

No, they are all from the one and only Jibe, of course ;D

Wow. What a tool. But only because he's French. There's only one person in the world who can get away with statements like that....

Really! Lynn Hill is one of the most modest people you could ever meet. She is also intelligent, so I wonder what might have been said to put Jibé's nose so out of joint...

It probably wasn't that Bronx was the finest product of the era... :lol:

PS Shark -three people shirley.... me, myself and I?

It's not what was said, rather than what was done!
Lynn Hill and another female competitor whose name escapes me now, were tied in first place at an international competition. The judges decide to let them have a superfinal on the men's route...
Guess who finished higher than Jibé on the route?

Lyon, 1989, the other competitor was Luisa Iovane. Lynn would have finished third among the men.
A few months later, she climbed Masse Critique, the famous 8b+ in Cimaï, a route about which the same Jibé had declared: "No woman will ever be capable of climbing this route."

Good ancient comp history knowledge. And I notice that for some bizarre reason I failed to wad you for the Jibé comment that I quoted above. Better late than never.

The stars of the 80s were, for better or worse, more quotable than today's bunch.

Cheers Munch, it feels good to be wadded at the expenses of Jibé. What a tool.
