Rob….to my knowledge, nobody told anybody anything. It was a request. There are a lot of other climbers who climb there and climb the grade and NONE of them got on the route. What does that say about RP? That he has bigger balls than the rest of us? I don’t think so. My feelings are not hurt, but I side with the route setter because the route would have come to me next if Jason decided to let it go. If Ryan wanted to be respectful there was a huge list of people who came before him and would want a go at the FFA. I know it does not always work out like that. But Ryan (by his own words) made no attempt at contacting Jason. That would have been an easy contact. He knows how to get a hold of him.
