Duel on the other hand has been repeated by everyone and his dog.

(Gulp... (Looks for a dog to steal))

Most of my info is second hand. I heard that you came last in the team qualifiers. Second hand obviously. Off about ten thousand people

Touche. Technically, it is true.

Have you done Turd Reich yet? 

[Johnny Brown]

Why 'technically'? Did you get yourself disqualified for cheating or something?

[unclesomebody]

Because I left with my scorecard in my pocket. I wasn't going to win, so what was the point in handing it in?

[Johnny Brown]

Because I left with my scorecard in my pocket. I knew I'd come last, so what was the point in handing it in?

Yeah but you must of known you weren't goin to win before you entered, or had you had a bit too much of granpa's cough medicine when you sent off your form 

[unclesomebody]

What do you want me to say? I'm shit, I'm never going to be good, I got beaten by people who are clearly way better than I have ever been, am, or will be. I am just a power hungry beast who will never be good at climbing. FINE!

[Doylo]

yes thats exactly what i wanted you to say, think more carefully next time you slag off pil box

[Nigel]

Quite right Doylo, never jibe a man's local. Except the Peak, which is shit. Speaking of Pil Box, found this picture of Yuji warming up at LPT ready for a hard Pil Box sesh with you:

[Jim]

and theres me thinking this was a thread about hard slabs, what with all the input uncles had here you could have thought it was a thread about being strong and having little technique.
fuck I've got a headache. beer is evil (which is live spelt t'other way)

Are you sure that's not Yuji lying very still and pretending to be a rock so that No-one will notice he's there and then he won't have to climb at Pillbox?

[Paz]

Alreet then, `a nobody' was harsh.  `An unknown' is more appropriate, which I know, is the same as me being ignorant.

All the talented slab climbers seem to keep it underground, hush hush, and shun publicity (and apparently never do any training, bred contempt for  indoor walls, and poor scorn on anything approaching muscular effort ;-) - "climbing is a sequeunce of resting positions is what they say in Bleau")
but even so it would be amazing if it turned out that the hardest slab in the world got done by an unknown.  They'd then be a hitherto unknown.  Way to make a name for yourself.  But this wasn't the case, so a lot of people's initial natural cycnicism was justified.
