Fine effort!! I was getting concerned that all the advanced publicity might create too much pressure, but the boy produced the goods, brilliant.

A great effort and well done indeed, but not exactly surprising...  Simpsons ticklist from the past few months is unbelievable.  Something silly like 34 8a to 8c+ routes in his six weeks in the Frankenjura according to that report in the latest Friction magazine.  Plus all the stuff in Buoux and the UK in between trips to Germany.

Stupidly strong and far too much talent; you reckon he would lend me some?

not just talent mate, a lot of fucking hard work...

Great effort to Rich. He battled against shitty conditions for weeks, and then some friendly rivalry with Dai Koyamada.  I'm sure he'll give a full report when he get's a chance.

It's a fine effort from a fine climber... so, what's next??? 9a+?

Awesome. A brilliant effort and the very least he deserves for the unbelievable effort he has put in over the (relatively few!) years. Thumbs up Rich!

True, I didn't mean to degrade his effort and persistence by any stretch, the amount of work involved goes without saying.  Plus his willingness to head over there again to bag the route is something few people would do.  A huge talent nonetheless.
