The Prow at Kyloe / Eliminates

[Simon Lee]

I sat under under this today (in my armchair) and it looks a bit different to the way it looks in the films. Firstly whilst as a feature it’s definitely a Prow it’s a very rounded sort of Prow - it’s not the sort of Prow that you can hug or something you could remotely lay off let along layback. Visually the way Franco went on the right looks to be the more obvious way to go given the holds available on that side especially as the Prow as a feature doesn’t supply any holds. A line further left then keeping on the left side of the Prow would be an obvious separate line but there aren’t enough holds to climb it (he says). Just saying.

It sounds as though your talking about Paddington Bear

He's not your usual type of bear, in the usual cuddly way..

This is all far too balanced Shark.


..there aren’t enough holds to climb it (he says) :whistle:

Climbing the obvious big prow as far as possible is hardly an eliminate. Avoiding the difficulties is an eliminate.

The easiest way is the route.

Well done Franco,wish I wound people up as well as you do. unk: unk:

The route is the route. It's the first ascentionists vision. To climb a different line isn't the line.

Franco doesn't wind me up. To quote BA Baracus "I pity the fool"

When you climbed New Age Traveller Andy, did you do it the original way like the FA or did you do it like everyone else does and cheat by going left?

You know those easy, featured walls you get at crags where the guide has to resort to saying "the wall to the right has been climbed everywhere at MVS", who'd have thought that would happen to The Prow?

Top marks for inclusion of Bluey.

Too late to get your new guide back from the publishers and add that in? :'(

Certainly too late to give Varian the Librarian a Font grade :'(

We should point out that what you've done there Dan is not the line as envisioned by the first ascensionist, as the FA of Varian the Librarian topped out over to the left not direct.

Back around.

My thoughts as well, all very amusing but unless I missed some meta humour the downgrade would have been a bit more meaningful if he'd actually climbed the line Franco did.
