Funny stuff From a sport climber's perspective, sport routes do get eliminate monikers e.g. Anabolica 8a in Suirana has gained a variant in the local guide for those looping out left to the 'cheating' kneebar and then back onto the line, 'Anabolinga 7c+'.
A three move variant at the top is hardly a new line. It's a fucking cop-out. A pointless eliminate.
Was Andy's FA just big grades for bad beta then?

There'll be one of them Dan Varian paragraphs along soon...
It’s hilarious how upset people get about Franco.
It is indeed, made more so by how little he seems to care.
This is all very amusing Am I missing something here or did everyone else miss the Steve Crow post where he points out, (illustrated by an Insta photo sequence of Andy), that noone has repeated Andy's original sequence that avoids the 'good' hold out right? .... Back around everyone.

Back around everyone.Steve Crowe will know if my interpretation of this is correct...Andy used that hold, but the left side, with his right hand, and then finished on the long flute with his left. This follows 'The Prow' more directly. I think, thus far that all of the repeats have used that same obvious hold, but the right side of it with their left hand.... Happy to be corrected.

Happy to be corrected.I thought he was referring to the ear shaped hold further right which Will and Dan take after they've gained the big hold with their left, I.e. to help set up for the move to the top.
