Cool video and thanks for posting. I watched the video b4 reading the post and got a double déjà vu cos it bought back recollections of watching bud do the FA many moons ago and as I watched it I wondered why the route wasn't named in the vid. But then I read your post to realise you named it there.

My recollection is that when bud & Hugh did it they didn't stick gear out in the taste of honey roof. They had a high runner in the corner but put in a couple of tcu's in slots in the savor the flavour roof. I could be completely and utterly wrong but would be interested anyone else remembers and can set me straight as I'm sure there were a few of us around on that day.

BTW - the way AP did the route looks far more sensible and fun and i don't think bud did it that way cos of any ethical reason (if my memory of the fa is correct...which is a big ask) but more that the first TCUs had just been released and they were psyched to demonstrate how cool these new toys were to us Aussies as they hadn't been seen here before much or if at all.
