Good job guys although i am not sure why you did it.
Have routes like Landslide Chimney become some sort of Climbers right of passage.
It seems like each generation of climbers has a shot at this route and come up with the same conclusion. The route is a choss pile, a long epic choss pile but a choss pile none the less. Over the years generations have climbed this thing and surprise surprise they find wet vegetation loose rock and rusty bolts. I mean do people read the stories of these epics and go "maybe its gotten better over time. Maybe the rock has solidified the bolts ceased rusting and the vegetation fallen out" You know after all these decades it ceased being a pile of crap and its now viewed as a classic route. What did those old farts know we are the new breed dont listen to those old stories. I bet these guys reckon its a pile of shit now and never go back to it ever. And in ten years time the next breed comes along and goes "what did those guys know Maybe the rock has solidified the bolts ceased rusting and the vegetation fallen out"
Anyway the story was great and yes james does look like one of the Village People.
