no ass clown, that is not what i meant...i'm sure the guy is devastating on trad...what i meant was the sick pitches on the nose are not really trad climbs in the normal sense...certainly not like the endless sick splitters on the salathe...the hard pitches on the nose are a. fixed mainly, and b. face climbing...
take a look at any of the racks that these uberfolks are climbing with on the really hard pitches...
