Wait a minute. Hold up hold up. Enough of this triviality....

The Oak is ONLY 8b?? Really?? I thought Shark was spending 16+ years on something actually hard.  Like 8b+. Jeeesus.

Quite. Clearly 5.14a is (would be) a much, much bigger achievement. Can't imagine why Shark is frittering his life away on a mere 13d.

I have lost track of days let alone redpoint attempts though probably an average of 20 days per year since 2007 !

How many redpoint attempts have you had on the Oak Shark?

There is currently a think tank composed of the best scientists in the country being pulled together to embark on this calculation. Along with money spent, and energy expended.

Hope the weather down there is better than here. Start seeping soon.

Nope. They’re all playing fruit ninja instead.

I've calculated the carbon offset needed for all those high-speed drives between Sheffield and Malham for you Simon. You need to reforest Northern Europe, like all of it.

When I took these pictures a couple of years ago I asked Shark how many times he’d done Consenting. 800 was the estimate.... must be a good few more by now.

I like the contrast between Eddie’s look of excited determination and Shark’s- closer to that of a man watching his kid’s favourite Peppa Pig episode yet again.

I wonder what percentage of threads on UKB ascend/descend into oak-based shark slagging?

Bit like Godwin's Law.

If a thread runs for long enough, the Oak will eventually get mentioned.

Yes something stinks - proof is needed that it wasn’t just a smear campaign..
