Lets have em.. whom is the greatest grit climber of all time? Theres a fair old few to pick from:
Johnny Dawes for his (at the time) state of the art routes like Gaia, Braille Traille and Smoked salmon. (one handed ascent of masters edge????)
Big Ron, Masters Edge in '83... awesome, Toy Boy, careless Torque! need i say more?
John Allen for all those crazy E5s that still dont see regular onsight ascents, the guy who kicked off hard grit!
Jerry Moffat, early repeats of all the desperates, then doing routes like Messiah, Ulysees, Samson...probably the hardest grit route around although by no means the scariest. A huge variety of FAs of hard bouder problems to his name aswell.
More recently Ben Heason, pretty nuch repeating everything ever done, quickly and in excellent style.
Think Johnny would get my vote just because of the lines he climbed...quality, mainly onsight well before other people were doing it.
