I've flashed a harder graded route indoors than outdoors. It's easy to follow the coloured blobs.


Not if you're colour blind. Pulling on plastic is dire.

Please can we combine this with a debate about gay marriage so i can stop agreeing with you?



Just for you Toby. Gay marriage is fucking gay.

Disagree with that then  :boxing:

And mainly its just fuckin gay to whinge on about being weak but technical. I've had the piss taken out of me lroads for being both piss weak for my grade and over strong for my grade, both in the same week. Its just bullshit. You climb what you climb. Shut the fuck up dave mac.

That's a bit strong. I know Dave over states his "weakness", but I do think its true that he's not as physically strong as a lot of UK climbers. Having seen him climb / train on a few occasions I can tell you that he's definitely not as brutally strong as people like Gary Vincent, Mark McQuaid, Malc. But he is certainly much more technical.

Personally I think a lot of his success is due to the total commitment / huge amount of effort he puts in.

There's a lot of room for being massively strong whilst still being less strong than Malc!

Yeah I agree.

It is all relative, and it prob depends on your peers. I wouldn't imagine he means weak in comparison to the average 6B+ guys at the local wall.

Well, with rapier-like wit of that caliber you've really got me cornered.

Age, not shoe size.... please?
