Ah, we now do see!!
It reminds me of a little run-in that V and I had a little while back:

[spoken]
One day me and my brother V, we were bouldering down a dark lonesome gym
when all of a sudden there leaned a wise-ass employee in the middle of the gym
And he said:
"Climb the best route in the world, or I'll sandbag your souls"
So me and V, we looked at each other, and we each said "Okay"

[sung]
So we sent the first thing that came to our heads, and it just so happened to be
The best climb in the world,
It was the hardest route in the world
Look into my rack and it's easy to see
the yellow cams are 2, the blue are 3
it was destiny
Once every hundred thousand moves or so,
when the chalk doth fly and sun gets low
then the rope doth flow!

[spoken]
Needless to say, the dude was stunned
Zip crack went his polarfleece vest
and the dude was done
he asked us: "Be ye lizards?"
and we said "Nay, we are but men"
Rock!

[sung]
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah,
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!

This is not the greatest climb in the world, no.
This is just a toprope.
Couldn't redpoint the greatest climb in the world, no, no.
this is a toprope, oh, of the greatest climb in the world,
All right! It was the greatest route in the world,
All right! It was the best muthatruckin' send, the harderst one in the world.

And the peculiar thing is this my friends:
the route we sent on that fateful night it didn't actually go
anything like this climb!

[sung]
This is just a toprope, You gotta believe me!
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion.
Ah, ! Good God, rock lovin,
So surprised to find a rotten slopper

[skat]
All right! I'm pumped!
