it's called "Full Equipe".

"a muerte" is the style... going for it - as I interpret it

In reply to smallerrich: In this case, "a muerte" is just being used in the context that most spanish climbers use it in-as in to just completely go for a route with everything you've got, this phrase was then taken and used as the name for rich simpsons route.

Very very impressive and superb effort , but how can it be onsight if Sharma cleaned the route and bolted it before climbing it ??

If Daniel Andrada cleaned and bolted the route then Sharmon climbed it , it would be on sight.

Or is on sighting a route with detailed beta now seen as on -sighting these days . ?????

Pink eyes, unfeasably pale skin, a compulsive urge to say ehup n' champion,flat cap, whippet, opel manta, hairy feet and a healthy respect for rusty nails which constituted a peg when hank, geoff, hollows or yourself knocked it in with a chicken bone back when the plague swept across our fair land! happen as like!
