Smell The Glove/Silent Menace

Post by JSmith » Tue Aug 12, 2008 1:21 pm

Yesterday Ben Harnden A.K.A. "Butters" made the first ascent of Silent Menace since the starting hold broke off, renaming it Smell The Glove. The new version clocks in around .14b. Also of note is Butters height. At five foot three, he single handedly takes away the excuse of not being tall enough to climb hard.

Nice work Little Elfin Ben. I'm not sold on the subject of renaming the route though. Takes most of the credit away form Jordan Wright, who first freed the route in the first place. The line isn't any different, just more difficult. Good work though. Jer

Truth be told, I made Ben offer me a new name. I don't think that it's too serious. Also, I know that Jim S. "created" the climb, but didn't Sonnie get the F.A.?
