i told myself not to get involved in more 'is it news' stuff since we all know Mick will put stuff on the news section whether it is or isnt news. but i can't resist just one more..
not meaning to be negative... but headpointing aint 'in great style'.
the flash of crack and slab is the impressive thing here, not headpointing KK. if he did it in 20min he must be kicking himself for not going for the flash.
16 year old kids have been headpointing (and onsighting) e7 for a long time. (a climbing journo once told me a teenage had emailed him asking if his ascent of obsession fatale was news, to which he was almost tempted to reply 'only if you're in a wheelchair or did it one handed'.)
