Ross Barker said:Is that word based entirely on Toru's use of the "" emoji, or is there anything a bit more concrete out there?

Nail on head. I don't begrudge it too much though if Lattice and whoever else have bankrolled his trip and made it feasible.

yetix said:Shame the climber intoview says only say bosi and shawn have done 3 9as each, ignoring lorenzi who has said that he felt big island sit was harder than alphane... And shawn didn't seem to get on well with big island at all.

I really don't get where this comes from at all. If anything, it's the one with the strongest consensus; four ascents all agreeing with 9A.
Will seemed reluctant to say 9A and suggested two 8C+s seemed harder. Lorenzi suggested it was easier than SS which has been suggested at 8C+ by one of the three ascensionists.

I think it's harder than Alphane but not much harder. I could see both being the same grade but Burden being solid and Alphane being soft.
My second of the grade
