The climbing police said he didn't do it in a push so his ascent is nullified.

America .... spends more time in the courtroom ..... :-)

How can an ascent be nullified? Impossible.

That's was last year's news WB. It seems like he's returned and upped the style a bit?

why be remembered? why should you not be forgotten? i dunno.


Anyway, somebody, kudos for working the hot karl reference into some thoughts about a holy site in climbing, kinda' really.

At least, I know there was a thread where people were still pulling for Scott Burke, no pun intended.

You are an idiot.

His belayers know exactly what he did and what he didn't.

Don't believe a word that comes out of Burks mouth.

You don't know Burk.

We've personally dealt with him for years ....

Wow. Holy thread drift!

There must be a back-story behind Scotty's P.N.G. status to have two heavyweights comment so strongly. I heard he was struggling with drug use, so I presume it is related to that somehow - desperate people and all that.

Blown away by Connor's send! So strong, so committed, so young!

Congrats to team Herson!

Props to all the free ascents.

I suppose its inevitable that someone, sometime, will try to free solo the Nose.
