Yet this happens.... time and time again.. throughout the country.. world.. honestly you need to get some experience..
So many in the UK come from the narrowest of experiences.. the same race for 35 years is not experience..
One of the UK's great climbers wrote an article and I edited it.. harsh in away saying what experience was... basically saying 50 years of Vdiffs wasn't experience... and him at 18 had more than them... as he took risks.. but he was right. He's seen more than we/they all have.
I do think the FRA have too much of a UK centric view.. don't change on account of others but at least learn of valid options.. they are there.
