That thread contains some timeless issues.
The above post from it is possibly 'the' quote of the year 2009.

Quote from Law Unto Himself (Mikl's book), in a reference to climbing at Mt Buffalo with Geoff Gledhill.

We loved slabby nonsense, it's amazing what you can stand on, but why do your feet hurt so much? The only other time you use such small holds is offwidthing.

( G'day shortman; here is the key to your project! Hehx3)

“I began to experience the feeling that had become familiar after many years of climbing: that as far as enjoyment was concerned, the South Pillar (of The Marmolata) was finished. From now on it was a life or death struggle and if we didn’t get up before dark, it was quite likely to be death “. ~ Don Whillans 1955

“Believe me, if you don’t know what it’s like to laugh till your ribs ache when you’re piss-wet through, half-frozen, hungry and dog-tired, you haven’t lived.” ~ Don Whillans (many years earlier.)
