In reply to UKC News:
Great effort from an obviously on form climber. Nice work James and UKC.

In reply to UKC News: Good to see some more hard 'non-grit' routes getting ticked. Would be interesting to see his thoughts on comparing the two styles of climbing.

In reply to UKC News: Beasting it James! Nice one : )

In reply to Toerag:

His comments reminded me of Ron's in his book ie minimal inspection/preparation being very different from a lot of pre-practice

In reply to Bulls Crack:
Not read Ron's book but Pearson wasnt talking about pre-practice at all - a flash by definition involve no pre-practice. He was simply talking about cleaning the holds, vs being told what the sequence was, what the gear was and where, where the rests are, etc, by someone who has done the route (which if he then climbed it clean first go would still constitute a flash).
