Tassy's hardest trad climb 26-Apr-2014 At 8:05:34 AM Benny G

Lets get something straight, how is Adams ascent a big show when he told a few mates, and yours has a soundtrack and film clip??

And back to basics a trad route isn't a route that can be led onsight! Last i checked a trad route is a route that has removable protection placed in cracks, pegs still fit that criteria tho aren't very common these days. If routes with pegs aren't trad routes then theres a number of routes at Araps that arent trad routes or sport routes, what are they!!?

By the way Black Diamond (one of the leading climbing brands in the world) still make pegs so maybe they aren't redundant yet. Its stupid to harp on about 2 thin pegs that were placed then removed in a 50m pitch. Noone will probably repeat it but its cool that he did it.
