Paul Smitton = God
November 02, 2007, 11:16:01 am
Smit did the second ascent of Steve Dunning's Hooligan at at t'snor other day. For those who don't know this has a font 8a+ start an a French 8b on top, hmmm tricky. Paul failed to fall off the top section after getting through the start. Bon effort. Its 8c by the way.

Effort. 8)

I didn't know this was unrepeated. That start is hard.

Chuff me, incredible effort. I don't think that boulder prob has had many repeats, let alone the whole route! :bow:

off the top of me head polish dave, ru, gaskins, mick adams have all done the start. Prob someone else has done it too, pulling off the ground is an achievement in itself.

A man on form good effort.

The story of Mick doing Hooligan past the end of the boulder problem something like 11 times on loop only for Andy Harris to offer him a rope and harness to complete the route is a good one. Mick didn't know the problem finished at the jug and refused to carry on the extra few moves for the full tick.

Mick if you're reading this, I'd like to remind you that you're a weirdo.

If Smitt was god there wouldn't be anything as complicated as quantum physics, and the oceans would be filled with lager.

Good job Smitt. :thumbsup:

Monstrous.

Also, if Smit really was God, Montego estates would have a cock and balls stuck on the back instead of those poxy fish.

 You could have a point there, but there is evidence out there to suggest they may share the same sense of humour...

I can't see how smit's a god when the likes of keith are climbing font 8b. Now that's impressive.

Unless it's a flash (at which point I'll give you a cracking blowjob) 8B = persistence.  Please, we're all getting too old to be talking to each other in this crass manner.
