Does anybody know who the youngest person to have climbed Rockatrocity (v9) in Parisella`s cave is and what their age is?

Thanks  :dance1:

why?

My guess would be that Little Hopo is young and has either climbed Rockatrocity or has aspirations to.

Don't worry Hoppo, you'll get it done before the old vagrant Mills at least  ;)

Listen young Hopo, Crouch did the youngest ascent, or at least the youngest acting ascent (he was acting like a 6 year old at the time) and you act like you're older than me so you're not claiming it.

I was very young.  I actually used velcro shoes (which, may I add, I had to get my mum to make me as they were'nt invented yet), as I was to young to tie my shoe laces without help.  Also, the holds had'nt been drilled yet... :-\

Joking aside young hobo, maybe Danny Cattel would be an educated guess (15?).

Chill Hopo! We're old farts on here and take a while to adjust to the psyche of the younger climber! Stick with what you're doing and I reckon RA is on before your 15. I for one will be most psyched to see this happen. Get your head down and don't let the bastards grind ya down!

 :lol: You're going to get such a smack down sometime, mark my words.  What makes you think you'll get a straight answer from any of us?  Surely you've learnt that much.  Do you ever get a straight answer from us?

Come on then Hopo, get it done.  You're more than strong/good enough.

I think I did it when it was about the only thing in the cave but I can't remember how old I was (<16) and wasn't ever sure if what I'd done was the right thing as per the shit description I was working from. Plus, as this was 20 years ago, it's probably completely different now anyway. Hope that helps.
 :)

Tyler must've done it??

What about Shawna whatshername? She dispatched it in about half an hour (not half an hour from birth, but from first feeling the holds).

Wasn't there a queue forming? I hate those slow climbers but you've got to admire their stamina.

Nothing impressive about young bucks climbing 7C;


more interested to hear if an over 50 has done this?
