We should point out that what you've done there Dan is not the line as envisioned by the first ascensionist, as the FA of Varian the Librarian topped out over to the left not direct.

Back around.

My thoughts as well, all very amusing but unless I missed some meta humour the downgrade would have been a bit more meaningful if he'd actually climbed the line Franco did.

Seems unlikely  :-\

Though boringly I would actually be quite interested to have someone put a grade on Franco's version.  Maybe that would just spoil the fun.

Pretty sure the first ascensionist of Varian the Librarian would not expect further ascentionists to be constrained to a specific sequence of holds, otherwise it would be eliminate and simply big grades for bad beta. The holds used to top out here are in easy reach; to ignore them would be blinkered.

I don't know actually, surely Dan's is the real first ascent since he used all the available holds?


 :-\ :lol:
