Dude-Kent , you have contributed an important element to my 'drift' : Seize The Day(26/27), was originally an M5 aid-route (?),so what 'say' does the original,original first ascent crew, have in relation to events 30? years later? ; re: Monkpuz : ' what happens when HB dies' ? To what extent should the first ascent STYLE be respected?It's totally warm 'n' cool that Simey and daboyz'n'girl were able to leave the original aid route on The Totem Pole in it's mostly 'museumesque' , John Ewbank condition.
As one of the great 'quiet-achievers' of Australian climbing , Parson's views are both refreshing and respectable. |
