Its actually Ben on Groove Train as far as I remember. Shows how good the film is when people cant even tell the climbs/climbers apart!

If he was shit stirring he didn't do it very well. Came across completely different to me.

How can zac be being arrogant about a route that in the scheme of things is essentially "easy". Note above rodw and my arguments about 16s. I've heard 2nd hand of dider rabatou not understanding "is this what you call bushwalking" after doing 2nd coming at araps. Its not arrogant it is fact.

Yours sincerely a vertical bushwalker.

That's just Zac. He is the biggest sandbagger going around. He once told me there was an awesome grade 22 handcrack that hadn't been climbed just left of Naja on Taipan. Further inspection proved it was an incipient seam.

Mate, wtf would you know! Have you met Zac? Climbed with him? One of the least arrogant, funniest and nicest dudes you could hope meet at the crag... Plenty of other talented crankers out there with WAY more ego than him.

If you ever actually got out of you armchair and onto the rock you might bump into him one day!

Fair call. But people tend to make judgements based on what they see and that's what I saw in this clip. Of course my judgement could easily change if i met him, or if others say otherwise (as they have), its an opinion afterall, not fact.

Now this is much more an assumption than the one I made.

I am not the captain of the captains blog, merely a loyal servant.

Making a judgement of a persons character in your own head is fine. Expressing that "opinion" in open is a whole different story. I hope Zac crushes you like a wallnut between his giant shoulders one day.

Am I wrong?

You are right, I probably should've kept that to myself.
If I were Zac though i'd be more concerned about why that interview came across that way to some viewers given it has gone to an international audience.

Your inclusion of the word "ever" makes you very wrong. But if you were making reference to this year you might be right, then again, come do my course and see how much climbing you fit in ;)

You're the only one who's interpreted it that way. I have a theory as to why this is, but I think the mods may define it as personal abuse.
