Are you alluding to his challenging escape and ability to elude authorities ?

How many non-climbers watching the news video do you think would know what is a "full body stem"?

Yes. The Tradiban regrets the error.

Now he must break back in otherwise it's not a send. There's style to uphold here. 

Detained at P.O.W. Camp 354 near Nanyuki, Kenya, Felice Benuzzi from Trieste, together with two fellow-prisoners Dr. Giovanni ('Giuàn') Balletto from Genova and Vincenzo ('Enzo') Barsotti from Lido di Camaiore, escaped in January 1943 and climbed Mt Kenya with improvised equipment and meagre rations, two of them reaching a point on the north face of the Petit Gendarme, at about 5000 metres,[5] high up the NW ridge. After an eventful 18-day period on the mountain (24 January – 10 February), and to the astonishment of the British camp commandant, the three adventurers broke back into Camp 354. As reward for their exploit, they each received 28 days in solitary confinement, commuted to 7 days by the camp commandant in acknowledgement of their "sporting effort".

well, i feel bad for the next dude who comes along and bolts his route...

I heard he named his route:

“Freedom or solitary”

He actually didn’t have the FA. Another prisoner used the same route to escape early this year, though he was caught within a day. Still a very bad guy, so really not someone to admire in any way.

The story Soprepro summarized above is from the book No Picnic on Mt. Kenya—-a great classic read. Since they were prisoners of war, it is much easier to ‘root’ for them, than it is for a domestic murderer.

Wait, so has wasn’t the original FA? Yea, this dude is a scumbag…

Alan Rubin · · Unknown Hometown · Joined Apr 2015 · Points: 10

Well, he is definitely even worse than a scumbag, but not because he repeated a problem ( if doing so makes one a scumbag, most of us would fit that definition ) —as long as he didn’t claim the FA.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
