I also find it interesting that they considered a stunning line a classic even if it had only been climbed once. these days we conside a classic to be the climb that gets the most traffic. You know there is an Alpine & Ice (and a Big Wall & Aid) forum on this site. Trad climbing involves free climbing on removable pros, not ice axe, piton (not anymore at least), or pulling on gear. For some of of free climbs in that book, there are many more climbs of higher quality in the same area. It has been more than 30 years since the book was first published, a lot has happened in free climbing.
