Someone starts a thread about some remote place, and someone on this board who has ACTUALLY been there posts a comment about it, and you decide to call them out as boasting? The irony here is that most people reading this thread sees your post as a "look at me!" post, not his.
First, the ever-accurate up vs down vote count seems to be at odds with your assertion.
Second, while I didn’t expand on my comment, one could reasonably infer that I was pointing out the overly technical description used in Obtuse1’s story. It comes across as “I’m a pompous know-it-all” and not relatable.
He could have told the story using layman’s terms, thus increasing the relatability of the information to the question posed by the OP. The question posed was obviously meant to be “would you, average / ordinary / inexperienced OT poster, stand on this hard-to-reach and dangerous ledge for an hour if offered $1 million?”
Perhaps the reply Obtuse gave would be more appropriate on the Outdoor board?

The route was fairly easy when I did it 5.9 A1 with one night on the wall but there was a flake that exfoliated a few years years ago that requires a higher level aid or a serious free pitch and probably adds 2 hours to the climb if you are aiding.
Its isn't all that difficult to understand.
The route was easier when Obtuse did that climb, but granite flaked off of the wall at some point making it harder, and it now requires more help and skill.
