So what is the issue then? It seems all his ascents have been airbrushed out of history despite as much evidence to validate them as many other people - i.e. a belayer/witness and stills/edited footage.

I've never met Rich so can't comment on him as a person but from the outside it looks a bit like the time Ritchie Patterson (I think it was?) credited the 1st ascent of Parthian Shot to Seb Grieve on that OTE article....

Well no. Most other ascents are not claimed by known liars. For them, the burden of proof is higher.

No issue nothing to see here

Did he ever do Conviction Lee? There was a photo of you on it kicking around a few years ago if he wanted any beta....

Can somebody nuke this thread, please? It seems that no extra information is forthcoming and all it's doing is just stirring round a pot of shite that needs to be left alone now. I'm sure it's titillating to stir up the old gossip every now and again but it's not really doing any good is it?

Aye. Let's wait for Megos to do Liquid Ambar in a few years then do it all again.

you're not backing Oli or Caff on it then? 

[Doylo]

Thought they'd given up. Easier to keep the sponsors happy on the trad  .

[Wood FT]

mans gotta hustle.

[Doylo]

Oli will do it but Caff's got no chance.

Caffs motto is 'when the going gets tough go to Yorkshire'.

I think he would happily admit hard - i.e. 8c/+ - pure PE  (as found on LA) is his anti-style. Of course Caff's weakest style is better than most people's strongest..

[Doylo]

You need very strong fingers though which he has. I'm just enjoying one sided banter for once as he doesn't post on here.
