Some things never change, the wisdom of Albert Mummery is still apt:

"It has frequently been noticed that all mountains appear doomed to pass through the three stages: An inaccessible peak; The most difficult ascent in the Alps; An easy day for a lady." –- Albert Mummery, "My climbs in the Alps and Caucasus" (1895).

(Said, half in jest, upon hearing of a Traverse of the Grepon by a party including Lily Bristow, a route previously considered the pinnacle of achievement.)

Aces! Another thread about that route!

In reply to NickD: Maybe, but I am ANGRY about the style of some of these ascents...

In reply to Removed User: Are sure you don't mean VERY ANGRY?

In reply to Coel Hellier: Lilly Bristow has climbed The Promise?

In reply to Coel Hellier:
I think it should be graded Jolly Sporting, But A Bit Stiff In Nails.

In reply to NickD: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHhhhhhhhhhhhh

In reply to Coel Hellier: I don't even think it's one of Girls Aloud's better songs, but still one of their top 10.

I trust I have succesfully earwormed a few people.

EARWORM IS NOT A VERB :-|

doodoodoo...

You’re gonna make me, make me love you, nothing at all, nothing that I do
Promise I made, promise I made, started to fade, started to fade, fade
You’re gonna make me, make me love you, nothing at all, that I cannot do
Promise I made, promise I made, started to fade, started to fade.

In reply to NickD:

Yes it is, it was made one in the queen's birthday honours.

Maybe next time I’ll take a ride on by, I wanna feel you near

In reply to Chris F:

Oh. I didn't know. Congratulations Your Grace.

doodoodoo...

Here I am, walking Primrose, wondering when I’m gonna see you again
