While Gabri Moroni was back home for a few days to sort out his business, David Lama got back to work on the Dave Graham-project in the Berlin sector at Céüse. He was close a few years ago, but was unable to seal the deal.
Gabri described the route as long and sustained, not so steep, with small...
How about David Lama and Redbull f**k off back to the Compressor Route in Patagonia and clean up there mess!!!! People haven't forgot about what a dirt bag David Lama & Redbull are.
Totally agree, i dont give one about what he has done until he goes and cleans up his mess. Even then i doubt i would be enthusiastic about it, what's done is done.
What on odd set of replies. It's OK to hear about Adam Ondra climbing major projects in Ceuse but not David Lama? Come on, both are significant achievements and should be reported. It would be a pretty poor website if it only reported news on people who UKC users liked.
In reply to Nearly everyone on this thread: Yes, we know what happened in Patagonia was fairly crap, but you're all just making yourself look like a complete set of whining pathetic losers, especially Akbar. This is newsworthy, and it's appearing in the news, that's how it works.
In reply to Björn Pohl - UKC: I disagree, in our activity which has no enforceable rules the collective shunning of those who act against the ethics of the majority is one of the most powerful tools available to maintain those ethics. It applies here, to Medwards and to anyone else. You screw up and don't fix it and we WILL drown out your future achievements with reminders of your sordid history.
In reply to willworkforfoodjnr: The hungry man above has a fair point - how else would you discourage such activity other then public shunning and reducing the amount of free advertising red bull gets?
Yes, it's fairly newsworthy - but a picture of him that's 50% red bull hat makes me f***ing cringe.
In reply to willworkforfoodjnr: i agree with you completly....he shouldnt be putting his energy into anything until he cleans up his mess...after that then ye publish news about him
