There's an old climber mag with a letter from Jay - arguing his case for the FA claim and the Kentucky Fried Kea name even though he had a couple of falls (it started raining when he attempted it). Either way it's a stonker of a climb and definitely 23.

It's listed as Kentucky Fried Kea (23) in Rock Deluxe, and Groper (22) in other guides. Anyone know which name is correct?

In Rock Delux, is this given a different name? ('Kentucky Fried Kea' from memory, I don't have a copy.)
I think def 23, not 22. Very sustained!
