Thin end of the wedge... it's an all to brief descent from a runner on a boulder to just laddering it
Naked shoeless free-solo is how they're graded, every time you one of the following: shoes, clothes, chalk, rope, runners etc you need to subtract half a grade.
On the same basis you can add back half a grade for each of the following: hempen rope round waist, hobnail boots with socks pulled over the top, beer gut big enough to rest a pint glass, stopping to eat a pie and smoke a fag just below the crux, refusing chalk, extremely itchy woollen underwear
But nobody and I mean NOBODY can abide a pulley runner, it's not cricket.
