No disrespect to anyone, but I'd be fine if the OP pulled the plug on this thread.

Why? Seems tame compared to some. At least it is climbing

Progression is from your first pitch to your last and everything in between......whatever that may be.

Now that this thread has almost run its course... here are a few quotes from the British climber Peter Livesey:

"Astroman, that was only the best climb in the world." 1978.

"These great lines could be climbed tomorrow if bolt protection were used, but then the lines would no longer be great, just a series of boulder problems." 1978.

"Very soon many of the traditional psychological features of climbing......will have disappeared. Instead we will have the purely physical gymnastic skills favoured by the bolting boulderers." 1988.

Climbing was stolen from intrepid gimps?
