I noticed Anton was sporting a pair of La Sportiva's, in that when I watched it the other day, To be fair they're probably a better choice than the MT110's for the climbing moves needed at the top, the rubber being much more stickier. I liked the bit when the climber asks them where their gear is... "I've got hands, I've got feet" being the reply. Nice.

    It was removed by Killian at the request of Salomon in order to distance themselves from the obvious danger in what he and TK were doing.

    not wanting every weekend warrior in just a pair of speedcross trying to freeclimb the Grand Teton falling and blaming them, it is usually a roped up route hence the comments from the other guys on the wall.

    I've got to say that the whole concept of merging running with scrambling, or even lower grade climbing is very tempting. I love the way that mountain running is evolving in this direction.

    Has anyone on here ever kissed Killian's arse?

    Its hardly evolving that way.. Cuillin Ridge, Welsh 3000ers, Snowdon Horseshoe all have established records and have been so for a long time.

    As Eric Cartman would say: "F@cking hippies!"

    I hope he wasn't doing anything dangerous in his salmonman shoes.

    That wasn't heavy breathing I heard was it? - surely Killian et al don't get out of breath like us mere mortals do they?
