on a similar note,
i speculate (you like that werner?)
that if the sun were so bold
ass to shine on jesus,
then jesus' shadow would well report
his incompleteness
in that the son
would shine right thru
the spot where his heart
should beat,
for jesus is hole-hearted.
and his shadow
would wear a sun-spot-badge,
and then we could hire
a pro-welder to
mend that void,
that void in jesus' shadow
with steely plates.
you ever notice how a welder's work
results in a mini-sun?
they are authoring the rapture;
all these sons mending disparate souls.
but please, welders,
only fix jesus' shadow.
leave the dude without a heart,
that way us sinners can
crawl through and back his essence
like worms working the soil.
and perhaps the inter-action
between sinners and proclaimed saint
will inseminate
god with my crooked dream
and she will sprout
new realities that
better get along with
the trees and bees.

Marlow, that Hazel Findlay video was wonderful to watch. It actually brought tears of joy to my eyes to see that.
No time right now to watch the others but I'll come back to this thread later.

Bravo....E9, dad most have a lot of belief in her. Falling on E9 is not a good option.

Mina Leslie-Wujastyk on 'Unfamiliar', a notoriously hard E7, 6c (5.11b) at Stanage in the UK. Hey Marlow, E7 6c's a bit harder than 11b... It usually equates to about 13a.

In fact on the UKC database the route gets E8, though whether that's the official grade I've no idea. http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=10125 Also I'm not sure if a straight conversion to YDS is appropriate in the case of short stuff like grit. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable may happen along.

Thats pretty awesome.
I noticed there was a point where she says "watch me on yellow" and then it shows her dad belaying and he completely takes his hands off both ropes. Wassup with that?
