    Just a point of clarification… The text stated that Jacinda Hunter has made an impressive FFA of Dave Graham’s Breaking The Law (5.14b).

    This would indicate that Dave Graham did not make a first free ascent, but a first ascent that required weighting climbing gear or some point of aid. Should this state that Jacinda Hunter has made an impressive ascent of Dave Graham’s Breaking The Law (5.14b). Please review what the story is, it’s hard to imagine that D. Graham would not have managed a 5.14b.

      It’s meant to indicate that she did the First Female Ascent. It is sort of implied that Dave Graham made a free ascent.

        I thought FFA was First French Ascent which would mean pulling on the draws. That’s how Graham sent right?

          You people are idiots.

          FFA traditionally means “first FREE ascent”, as several people are now freeing what are traditionally aid routes.

          FFA also doubles as first Female Ascent.

          FFA NEVER stands for First French Ascent, because no-one would care.

            James, you need to revisit who the idiot is here. The first person was just confused about FFA for the Female Ascent, which is legitimate to be confused (though most people would know) lets not bring them down for that. As for Chris, you have to know this blog and more often the comments carry an aire of sarcasm, so recognize that from now on, and back off.
