Didn't anyone notice Alex Honnold's ascent or are you just embarrassed cause it Yanks: 2 Brits: 1? (yeah, yeah, I know, Swedes 0). Interesting though that he, as it seems, found it slightly harder than Kevin, giving it 7a for tech grade.

Didn't notice but assuming it's legit, what E-grade does he give it?

In reply to Björn: have any of them tried the groove? or smilling buttres? i wonder if they could make quick work of them ... ?

In reply to Fraser: He gave it E8 7a, so I guess he found it slightly harder than Kevin did, right?

We noticed it Bjorn, but didn't feel the need to comment. Climbing isn't a competition, like 8a.nu try to make it into.

I for one think its great the Americans are coming over here and doing our routes fast. I am just glad they have had a really good spell of weather.

Just wait till Ethan Pringle comes over, now i am sure he will have even more success.

Oh, it's not that we're trying to make everything into a competition. I can only speak for myself, but I'm simply a nerd.

In reply to Bjorn: A nerd who uses how long it takes someone to do a problem to give it a grade. Way to go genius.

FAIL.
