Dense- IMO a tight line is better than a technique elimination, even if it's harder for the guidebook writer.
Ru are you not the guy who wrote not one but two bouldering guides with Ben's Roof in at 7c+, both published after the evolutionary advent of the human leg joint?
Yes. First time was when knees were only just starting to be used.
QuoteYes. First time was when knees were only just starting to be used. Some of us with both functional limbs AND minds used the kneebar before either book and 5.10 kneepads were out. It's the easiest way to do the move on a prob with no recorded rules, why would you not?
I'm surprised Keen Roof hasn't been downgraded yet. I mean, it's had a ton of ascents hasn't it? And it's got a knee bar that people seem to camp out on with pads thesedays! Can't have any soft grades at the Tor now can we
