pfff

Speedway is a lot of roped hiking (no-hands) but the crux pitches are sustained and bold at their grades. If you liked "question of Balance" on the Apron you will dig this one.

Late August and September can be snowy and/or very cold in the Bugs.

That's pretty cool, that was a longstanding record.
Now who holds the record for greatest number of laps on the Grand in a day. Is it still Peder and Hamish, with 5x to Bellygood?
