THERSITES
I am a bastard too; I love bastards: I am a bastard
begot, bastard instructed, bastard in mind, bastard
in valour, in every thing illegitimate. One bear will
not bite another, and wherefore should one bastard?
Take heed, the quarrel's most ominous to us: if the
son of a whore fight for a whore, he tempts judgment:
farewell, bastard.

Also the name of a climb in the
Frankenjura in
Germany.
The climb was first done by
Gerry Moffatt in 1987 and
is now graded 10/10- on the
UIAA scale. It is still rated as
one of the 100 hardest climbs in the region, which is astonishing
given the year that saw it's first ascent.
The climb is at a crag called
Grune Holle (which translates as green heel). The rock is limestone and the cliff overhangs by about 38 degrees. I stood beneath the climb not one week ago.
