For a bit of background... Blake was just a weedy, young wannabee when he wrote this and was still finding his feet in the climbing world. He copped a bit of good humoured shit from the likes of me and One Day Hero later in the thread. Shortly after, his mum messaged me to say that she felt like we took things too far and that our sense of humour was not conducive to helping teenagers build confidence. It was a totally reasonable letter, but I pointed out that Blake wasn't being singled out (we wanted to see Blake succeed) but simply that everyone who posted on Chockstone was open game.

As things turned out, Blake's focus moved from big wall aiding to bouldering. He is now a 6'4" monster who pulls V10 or harder.
