If its A5 where are the bodies? 4-Feb-2008 At 2:11:29 PM PDRM
Message
This is a bloody classic but completely logical argument that if an aid route is graded A5 then a number of people *should* have died in the process of validating the grade. It's accepted that people will fall validating the grade of a difficult sport climb, and maybe the same of trad (?) but if it's an A5 aid route then by definition a fall could result in curtains.
