A Spectre is haunting Europe?

The Kurtyka/Schauer on the Shining Wall of Gash 4 is "only" 5.7. In fact, they simul-soloed a lot of it. So therefore, it ought to be dead easy, right. Since the 5.7s in the gym are cake...

I really don't think there are too many 5.9, M5, WI4 climbs on Earth that have a length of 4100m, except maybe on the Rupal Flank of Nanga Parbat.

No it didn't it just said he wasn't LOOKING for spray. Sometimes you find beautiful things when you aren't looking for them.

OMG N00b l0lz 1111! teh google. they invented it for u to use.

These classic images are desperately in need of LOLMOUNTIES captions right in the image.

Well - no. Imagine if they were a complete triangle in cross-section.... I think it's the curve at the back bottom that really fucks them up, though. I have two (the #2 and #4) and i find normal RPs sit way better in squamish cracks and pin scars than either of these. But there are two places I've found where the Peenuts seem to fit better. One on Leviticus just below the dihedral, and one on Rock On at the start of the crux pitch.

If you look in the trip reports you will find about a dozen or two from Harvey. I've done the north face ramp 4 times now myself.

Peenuts have been out for about 12 years. I find them kind of annoying, unless the flare of the crack perfectly matches the flare of the nut, they fall out.

It would, of course, be equally valid to ask why Paul went up the mountain by himself when his partner was unwilling to continue. I have also wondered why he left his pack behind. Was he just going for a quick recce or did he seriously try to solo the route without most of the equipment he had brought? I have only heard 3rd hand info on this and a lot of the info I have heard does not make sense or doesn't add up.

I heard two climbers from Colorado quietly sent it last year and rated it 5.4 AI4 M5. Look for a report in the new AAJ. Right Mike?

When the brain starts thinking about the brain, and tries to catch itself thinking, then whoops. There you go. The rabbit hole.
