Ondra mentioned that he abbed the problem to clean it, and also felt some holds while he was cleaning. Does this fit in most people's idea of a flash? imo it just edges out of a flash, feels like you're getting in to some pretty grey area e.g. feeling holds vs. pulling on vs. trying moves.
I'd lean towards saying it was 'first go' but not a flash.
First go in my book. If you’re inspecting stuff with ropes and ladders, it’s more like an Everest expedition than bouldering.
Ok, I've updated to say first go rather than flash and added some extra text to emphasise it's an impressive effort.
What is impressive is the openness about the style. There have been a couple of historic flashes lately where there has been no clarity about the level of pre-inspection.
For sure. Always admired Adam's openness about style, always helps as the labels are never going to cover all the subtitles.
