Choice reply bro.
Not being around like you were back then I was confusing modern spurt climbers with the original sporting climbers.
I guess they had to be sporting types ay, due the long runouts and subtle perplexities of route finding on intimidating high angle slab.

Hard to tell from the photo but it looks like climber doesn't have a rope, is effectively soloing but covering a spicy move by chaining all his pro back to a single nut, located about waist level off to his right. He probably back cleaned it by flicking it out from above when at chains end.
These are not the preferred antics of modern sport climbers.

Did you take the pic?
