American Wads Crushing on Grit

Thought this deserved its own topic to move it out of the Brad Pit Joker one.  Blog here http://www.mattsegal.com/  things of note:
- Brad Pit 7B+
- A man who has soloed half dome looking scared on Pebble Wall  ;)
- Onsight solo of Wellington Crack - more impressive than the headpoint of New Statesman? I guess it's only 5.11...

Pah! I wonder if that 7b+ was a genuine mistake or a slight of a classic problem!! I reckon he genuinely got the grade wrong although as we know there are plenty who reckon 7c.

The dude is kacking his pants on PW! more scary than Moonlight Buttress or what!

Headpoint or onsight solo, that is the question... I guess Matt Segal having done Cobra Crack recently was probably not too maxed on an E4, rope or no rope!!

Is the picture that is captioned as Silk actually Satin? Or is my knowledge poor?

Hmmm, well if it's Adam stalking it might be okay, but certainly not if Dense.   :-*
