In reply to JLS:
Yeah totally
I could have climbed to the top, but I thought:
- I'm not trying to prove anything
- It's a bolted line im choosing to place gear on
- I have done that finish via other lines
- and my partner wants a go on "Silk purse" and he's bored to high hell belaying me :P
hahaha I thought it was a new way to experience a climb that for me has a hell of a lot of history (personally).
For anyone interested, I've written a blog for "The Cleanest Line" (Patagonia Blog) that will be coming out shortly. I write about my view on things and I reckon it would be really nice to hear everyone elses thoughts and opinions on it.
Glad you all enjoyed the film, I think Euan did a really good job! And yeah, it's not so obvious the gear I use, but I'd be happy to show anyone whose interested - actually I have a snap of all the gear I used so I'll post it on Facebook Page now (Robbie Phillips). Im back up on Friday for a sesh with some friends so come by and I'll point it all out to you
