Funny how the first ascentionists name can be such an informative part of a route description… Here Lee Cujes @leecujes makes the most of today’s crisp conditions to extend himself on Metal Shavings at York Mountain in the #BlueMountains. And the first ascentionist? Steve Bullen, 1984. Hmmm… Given that Steve was one of Australia’s strongest climbers of the 80s (and 90s), was master of thin, and was notorious for not really understanding how strong he was (either that, or not really understanding grades in the way that most people do), it might be best to take the given grade of 26 with a pinch of salt or two for this one… #climbing #rockclimbing @nikon_australia #mynikonlife @thinktankphoto
