100% beef  :boxing:

Subtle beef? I didn't get that particularly. He disagrees with the grading machine but that's hardly beef  :-\

Forgive me, I was making a play out of the fact that Dave once ate nothing but beef for a month. He's a mild-mannered man, but it's clear from the video that he doesn't think much of the E(go)-grader and he wants to downgrade the world. I think I love him.

He is a man who loves beef. Eat, sleep, beef, repeat.

Isn't this just another case of pro climber first ascent grading perfected by Dunne: suggest large number, receive media attention, grade subsequently drifts down, job done.

Or perhaps he genuinely thought it was 'harder than E11'. It's ok to make a misteak.

A short film about the third ascent of a 13d 14a in Little Cottonwood Canyon. The climbing is decent but it's most notable for ukb readership for an interview with first ascentionist Jonny Woodward, still drinking tea and with only the faintest of twangs after more than 40 years in the USA.

Looking forward to watching this later. Getting to meet and spend a couple of hours climbing on the grit with Jonny sometime in the mid-90s was one of the highlights of my climbing life.

You did. A portrait of Maria Cranor, an amazing woman. Jonny was married to Maria for a a number years, though the film doesn't mention this.
