isn't West Side Story traditionally E4 at 7B+?

Pah, luxury! Layby Arete (7B+) is E2 6c.

I wonder how many E2 climbers have onsighted that?

Northumberland does have a strong hand in that kind of thing.

Australia Crack (E3 6b) gets far fewer ascents (probably because it's harder) than Prime Time (7B+). And it's not even that easy to protect.

Angus makes it look easier than that.

He's a bit of a monster though.

The young Swizz climber Dylan Chuat repeated Beyond 9a+ at Pic Sant Loup, in his first run of the day, without having any warm-up except some hangs on a portable hangboard. Beyond has a hard low crux as well.

Interesting tactics.
