Quote from: gme on June 05, 2014, 08:24:18 amIts just a shame that Johnny Brown doesn't feel the same, i had him down as the most sentimental of the lot of you. Must be a rock colour thing.Not rock colour, its the old skill vs strength argument, and I'm on the side of skill every time. Every time a better sequence is found on an old testpiece I rejoice - just goes to show that strength is quickly won and lost but technique is harder won, and a gift that keeps on giving. Rules are for schoolboys not ready for the real world.

Wierdly I have a quote (about Gav?, by Gav?) stuck in my head along the lines of "I've never forgiven him for using toe-hooks in the school, and now this...". Sadly the context of this quote entirely escapes me and I've no idea who said it about whom, and what they did that could possibly be worse than toe-hooking in the school...
Gav - out of interest does everyone agree this is the crux of Hubble? This move, and the next are pretty much the only two I can do...
No-one's actually done Hubble with a knee bar yet. And the route does't just boil down to one move - I used to be able to quite comfortably static the undercut move, but found climbing into the position really hard.
RicH Heap used to be able to do the match static but struggled on the next crux, I was the opposite. And even if you could do both you mightn't be able to hold the terrible sloper or do the foot moves between them.
Any better?
Yack. Shades, colour matched trousers and t-shirt, no left boot - a proper yankee cheesewhip. Like the kneebar though.
