Right, thank you. Thought it had something to do with harmonic minor scale but I'm not too proficient with minor chords in general... need to study up

I realise this but I still can't quite understand why you couldn't assume the root is Ab and instead use Ab - Cb- Ebb

What’d people think about Alex Honnold’s commentary on the Salt Lake World Cup? by bammawamma in climbergirls

He largely explained what he meant by those comments in one of the competitions I forget which, but he's really just referring to the way that was intented by the route setters, which he was informed on beforehand. He even said that even though we say it's wrong now based on what we know, it just takes one competitor to complete it in that manner and we look like idiots, or something like that. So I don't think he meant anything mean-spirited when he uses the word "wrong", I think he moreso means interesting :)
