Title: Brad Pit shit
Post by: Beastio on February 09, 2011, 08:22:08 pm
Its a good effort but again did he really climb it in 20 minutes or did it take 20 minutes in that particular session?
Its one of those problems which is really suited to shorter people i think, as i personally dont think he could climb any other 7c+ in the UK in 20 minutes or even in a session alot like most of the females who have climbed it, its there hardest problem to date because its so well suited.
But yeah good effort, surely 1st in the BBC`s should of been achieved by him if he can climb V10 in less than half an hour  :whistle:

Well thats the grade it gets in current guides, there is some contention over the grade (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php?action=search2) so perhaps discuss this aspect in that thread?

I read it - first you imply he didn't do it in 20 minutes, then you sayit's easy for him as he's short (for now!) then assert he couldn't climb anything else of the grade in a session, and finish off by denigrating his acheivement in  the bbc's

I'd say that's "taking somthing away from the geez" and prefacing your speil of shit with "It's a good  effort but..." doesn't change that.

Having been thoroughly burnt off by hamish on several occasions I've no doubt he's capable of other 7C+'s in a session.

Post by: b3n99 on February 09, 2011, 11:28:47 pm
And just to clear up some details, it was in 20 minutes having never tried it before. Doing bus stop and carnage sit both in one session seems to suggest to me that he could boulder harder! And the BBC result might have something to do with him being about 5 foot, the kid is unbelievable!
Title: Re: Brad Pit shit
Post by: Doylo on February 09, 2011, 11:32:13 pm
I thought it was originally regarded as 8b, can't remember what b13 equated to. probably somewhere beween 6a and 8c

On a serious note (shock), I seem to recall that for multiples of letters or numbers, there should be an apostrophe before the s.  As in 7's and 8's.  Although I may be wrong.

OED (http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/page/225) says you do for single letters but not for things like MPs, BBCs so Bonjoy was correct.  But 7's and 8's seems to be the correct form.


Confused?   :-\

Anyone who's climbed with Hamish recently will know he is one of the most gifted young climbers with no ego whatsoever. He is generally bemused by the attention, happy to be just loving his climbing.
To defend his honour though as it has been publicly questioned, it was 20 minutes in one session and he found the sit start to Carnage way harder. To demean his talent and his mental attitude (he always gives 100%) by belittling both he and the route shows a severe lack of respect for other climbers and more than a hint of insecurity.
As for the BBC's, if you were there you would know that a) being 14 and pint sized he is competing against others who are of adult stature - the swedish lad who was 2nd resembles Dolph Lundgren, and b) competing in competitions brings performance pressures to different people in different ways. He will almost certainly be atop the podium next year - unless its sunny and the crags are calling.....

I'll be doing a little Q&A with Hamish next week for the TCA website. Keep a future look out for James Squire, another of our 14 year old youth squad members too, he is doing some impressive outdoor problems under the radar in the Bristol area.

I see, finally a proper answer. Cheers, yeah the lads a beast. 20 minutes, good going.

 If he found carnage assis harder i think that proves my point of the problem being really suited to him.

Ive attempted the bbc`s a few times myself as a junior a few years ago and it is hard. The geezer who won is not the tallest but probably taller than Hamish. Sure next year will be a good year for him  8)

What the fuck kind of point are you trying to make here?  Everyone has problems that are suited to them, even if its as simple as their preferred type of climbing (e.g. roofs, slabs or crimpy walls).  Watch vids of Robinson and others and they all mention that some problems "my kind" etc.

Except its not. I'd say it suits those of average height - the tall may find it too bunched. For the really short getting the top hold can be the crux as they run out of reach off the heel.

If you're still trying to imply that's why he did it in 20 minutes then it's worth noting that Carnage assis and Bus Stop were also both in single sessions.

The missus watched the clip of Hamish doing this last night and said "That looks easy, you could do that." I reponded with "No I couldn't, it's 7C+. He's just making it look easy!"

That's the mark of a proper beast. Check Ty in between the trees for further examples of a beast making hard problems look easy.

I've never met JCM but I know Beastio pretty well.  He's been a class A dick with this thread and he knows it now - we gave him quite a reception at the wall last night.  However, he is actually a nice lad and given that he's only 17, he usually acts in quite a mature manner.  I know I acted like a cock quite a lot when I was 17 (and continue to do so, people will no doubt point out), but hopefully with the careful tutorage of Richie Crouch and other people on the scene in Liverpool, Beastio will mature into a tower of sensible behaviour.

Beastio is away for the weekend with a whole bunch of us, so once we've finished taking the p*ss out of him, we'll have lots of man-to-man chats and pass on some hard earned nuggets of wisdom regarding hubris, internet decorum and footwork.

Maybe a partial Karma reset is in order? I puntered him for being a dick, but when I see the amount of bad Karma he's accrued over just one thread I can't help feeling it might be a bit much.
Is he really worse than Sloper and JCM?

Nah ... anyone who hates on a 14 year old doing Brad Pit in 20 minutes deserves everything they get.

It's an incredible achievement irrespective of any of his other climbing - to question it in anyway is just sour grapes/being a cunt/small dick/yep...tiny dick/etc.

If he's on a wind up then he's failed - nobody cares about him or his opinion any more than to -ve karma it and comment something along the lines of  "you're a bleep". I suspect most people care far more about Hamish's ascent.

Re. Karma reset:
Why? He was being a dick, completely unjustified, and continued being one repeatedly after it was pointed out to him quite reasonably. He's still not posted anything to suggest he's realised that he was out of order. His reply to Paul was basically saying all the other answers weren't "proper". Bollocks. I was pretty restrained I thought. 'You should train harder then sunshine' - Fuck off, 'sunshine'. The fact that some folk on here know him and think he's alright in person makes no difference, your karma record is for your behaviour on UKB, as well as at the crag. Being 17 isn't an excuse either, he was slagging off a 14 yr old kid.

Not a total reset, just a partial one; -46 just seems like a lot over one incident. There's no question he was a dick, I puntered him myself, but at what point does something like this turn into bullying? I'm as uncomfortable with a bunch of adults slagging off a 17yr old as I am with a 17yr old slagging off a 14yr old.
One of the problems(?) with the current karma system is that it offers no chance for redemption; your -ve is there for all time, maybe an offset system might be fairer; where +ve cancels out -ve, and vice-versa.
Just a thought...

Maybe something like apologising, and showing he realises why what he was doing was unacceptable? I've wadded people for stuff like this before, and probably will again, though if someone has to be prompted to do so I'm not sure I'd bother. Then again he is only 17, so maybe I would.

Isn't that just how it works anyway (i.e. you can look at someone's +ve and -ve and do the offsetting in your head)?  :shrug:

sorry you were too quick and I edited after posting. I like that it doesn't offset - gives a better idea of what someone's like on here - ie I post a fair bit, but attract little positive or negative karma, contrast with, say houdini...

I considered that aspect of it that's why I put a (?) after 'problems' in my original post, it just doesn't really give the opportunity for a clean slate - no matter how much you apologise or contribute positively to the site your bad karma will be with you for ever.

I doubt many people trawl back through profiles to see ancient karma points.

And really it's not there for everyone else, it's not a competition - it's there a guide to the user who's on the receiving end. If they get loads of +ve then they can feel warm inside and a valued member of the community. If they've got loads of -ve then it's telling them they're doing something wrong.

If you get 46 then you might think "ok, I was being a knob, I won't do that again..." and hopefully change your ways.

Or you cold start with a clean slate (i.e. re-register).
I wouldn't advise this really - you're only allowed one profile here and though I'm sure people do have more than one from time to time, if I find out that you've got two then I'll probably just merge them together - karma included :)

Anyway, look at andi_e - he started with a huge -ve karma and is now a regular part of ukb with a positive karma balance and over 4000 posts :)

Just a thought...

But this would have little impact on users with fairly high positive karma, if they overstep the mark it'd be hard to notice you're +ve karma decreasing slightly, where a -ve stands out like a sore thumb and makes you take note (it certainly has when I've overstepped the mark).

The only time I can see it being majorly unjust is if someone gets heavily puntered before they get the chance to set things straight or apologise, this isn't the case here, far from it.

Beastio has been away all weekend so i'm sure he'll be straight on here to apologise when he gets back.  He seemed very remorseful and was feeling so weighed down with guilt he actually failed to climb anything!  ;)

Its a good effort but again did he really climb it in 20 minutes or did it take 20 minutes in that particular session?
Its one of those problems which is really suited to shorter people i think, as i personally dont think he could climb any other 7c+ in the UK in 20 minutes or even in a session alot like most of the females who have climbed it, its there hardest problem to date because its so well suited.
But yeah good effort, surely 1st in the BBC`s should of been achieved by him if he can climb V10 in less than half an hour  :whistle:


Oh my f**cking god. Did you really just say that? :o

Yeah did you not read it? Im not taking anythin away from the geez, its a good effort but come on its not exactly a solid 7C+ which every man and his dog hasnt climbed.

My dog's done it, and without using thumbs.
