Back To The Future

Musashi V10Ω James Morris (aka The Future) became the second young hotshot to dispose of Musashi V10, Ivan Vostinar’s Bronx Cave test piece, in less than an hour.  And it was warm too!  He also disposed of Speed Freak V7, Speed King V7 and very nearly claimed the second ascent of Tyrant V9 Ω

    Not a bad days effort. The future is unstoppable!

    Tyrant V10? Or Musashi V9? Or more people trying harder and less people speculating? (unlikely.)

    And actually, if you’ve watched Progression (surely, Gomez) “de pudure iz myne, de pudure wil be myne” according to Usobiaga. (Although, once again it must be next years future, as Ondra just nabbed the future presently.)

    Yeah, Paxti’s future is totally in the past.

    Tyrant V10? Could be, haven’t done it yet. Less speculating more sending needed. Musashi was hard for me but maybe not for others - they need to say if it’s soft or V9. For the record I think the Shark is a SOLID V7 so my vote is it should be upgraded. Everyone else thinks so but is too afraid of being a pussy in front of Pete and hence the wall of silence. I’m not ashamed.

    Extra. Extra. Terezka did The Vomitron V6, perhaps the first repeat of this outstanding problem and since I’ve cleared away the rocks underneath it no longer resembles its name. But there it is.

    I did the shark ivan, and i agree… way hard for 6. Musashi felf hardto me, but i am a weakling thats why i ran away from NZs hard grades for squishy ones here in America and Canada.

    Who’s afraid of looking like a pussy in front of me?! I’ve taken the longest out of everyone so far to send Musashi (except for JP, but he is WEAK!). Shark IS V6 and you ARE a pussy for thinking otherwise - maybe I just used my feet more than you.. seems unlikely.
    I thought the system for grading a problem was for the first ascentionist to have a hack at it and then let the masses fight over it for the next few years, in which case I have done tremendously.
