What's up with the news here? Nothing around the controversy of FRFM between select elite and Nalle? Doesn't matter anymore now since Ondra "hogged" / "earned" the honours from Chris. The climb is now called "to je vtip". http://bjornpohl.blogspot.com/2010/04/ondra-climbs-frfmto-je-vtip.html
@marc.. So much for 8a taking the bait @ Gianluca.. The The Lowdown blog and this one as well: http://www.deadpointmag.com/articles/view/chris-sharma-big-nalle-hukkataival-and-red-tag You can judge for yourself.
8a has choosen to NOT write about the so called controverse. It was just created by a blog who apperantely does anything in order to get publicity. It had NOT existed if it was not because of the blog.
While it has gotten out of hand, I think that its incorrect to say that one blog started this controversy. Nalle never mentioned the route by name or the situation's particulars, he only responded to a question, and subsequent questions when they were asked. Whether or not he should have done that is a matter of opinion, and it is his personal choice, seeing as not responding to questions could be rude, and could have led to more speculation. Vagueness in describing the situation was part of the problem from the beginning, so I think maybe more vagueness and ignoring the issue might not be the answer.
It was not started by Nalle but from a blogspot blog. The sad thing is that the person has done similar things previously. I have the fullest of respect to Nalle. He is absolutely not to be blamed what so ever!
Ondra sends FRFM
