Was most disappointed that he didn't mention The Big Bang.

Yeah I was a bit non-plussed as well. Wtf, if you are going to make the effort to come to Trywn why put Sea of Tranquility above The Big Bang if you are climbing 5.15a?

Who else could be a suitable candidate?

I don't see a mad scramble for this one. We may have to wait for some time...

[Kingy]

How do you insert 2 quote bubbles from the same author into one reply, without the whole thing turning into one big quote? Please can somebody explain? 

[Fiend]

Ahhh the mysteries of the quote function.... 

Weak my arse. This is the same as Steve Mac. Yeah yeah okay they're weak in the arm etc etc, but that's all just bloody fine when you weigh half as much as everyone else and no doubt have uber-finger-strength.


P.S. Superhero question WTF   Someone should have asked him about rampant over-grading. Quite amazed he didn't mention it AND I forgot all about it. Maybe that's a good thing...

[dave]

just make sure each bit you're wanting to quote has both the start and end quote tags. you might have to copy and paste a bit.

OK

you might have to copy and paste a bit.

Fine, I have quoted you with the same end and start bits around both quotes. If this doesn't work I am turning to drink

Yeah because obviously he should have reeled off a list of every hard sport route in the UK, I mean God to think he didn't even know the name of Steve Mac's new route and got Raindogs and Rainshadow mixed up - honestly  

[Kingy]

Hooray, cheers Dave  .

Yes Fiend, I agree there was no mention of the overgrading phenomenon  , most puzzling. Re his alleged weakness, one has to wonder a little bit what that's all about. Maybe its just creating a 'sensation' for the media or summat...

Or perhaps it's just that "arm wise" DG and SM are actually weak in comparison to some of the one armer beasts around. I know it seems a bit disrespectful to the truly weak (us) to hear these awesome climbers saying they're weak but I can understand what they mean. It also shows that you don't need to be able to do numerous one armers to climb very very hard but if you don't have strong fingers then forget it.

[Fiend]

Aye. And I bet you don't get many good climbers who are FAT and WEAK IN THE ARM even if they have bionic fingers...

[Kingy]

Aye. And I bet you don't get many good climbers who are FAT and WEAK IN THE ARM even if they have bionic fingers...

Agreed Fiend!

Inspiring to hear about Dave's travails with arm strength, I guess his finger strength is just off the chart and so if the holds on a problem are small then he's all over it. Its just the buckets on those overhanging 14d's where the holds are too big for him  . Go figure...

[SA Chris]

Enthusiastic and random, at times bizarre, but highly recommended. Boy's clearly a bit nuts.

[philo]

was really good lecture and he is genuinely quite funny.
oh and he was trying the ace the "campus" way but with no swing.

[a dense loner]

i doubt very much that he was trying the ace the campus way but with no swing

[philo]

i doubt very much that he was trying the ace the campus way but with no swing

its just what he said, i wasnt there so couldnt say on the matter

[Drew]

What Dense means, is that The Ace is the sit start to The Joker. He'd have to cut loose and then try to campus the last move. Even if he cut loose, he'd be allowed the swing, as he'd have done it from sitting.

[Kingy]

He'd have to cut loose and then try to campus the last move.

Sheesh!! That would be about 9d.... 

[philo]

ah right i get you now! oh well
