Come now Evan, you know that the standards that apply to rock climbing are:
Solo
Free-climb
Aided
Top-roped

In the case of mountaineering, you would substitute:
Tight-roped for top-roped

Regards, Laurie.

I'm going for biggest 'traditional' list in Australia, slowly, which
means no possible ship assisted birds, no 'plastics', only recognised
native Australian fauna. Other people can tick the crow, or other
dodgy vagrants if they like, but as far as I'm concerned they're
competing in a different sport.

The view is good from the moral high-ground.
