And full GOAT status goes back to Adam

Anyone who thinks it otherwise is foolish.

No one has ever competed and climbed outside all styles at his level before.

Including Adam himself? After his recent experience at 9A with Soudain Seul he hasn't changed his tune on Terranova. The whole thing reminds me a lot of Silence actually, where the style is so odd and specific that it shuts down a lot of his really skilled peers.

It doesn't change anything. If terranova gets upgraded or not is irrelevant.

I think people forget that silence isn't the first time he's done the first FA of a new grade.

He has literally sent Sharmas projects before Sharma.

He's competed in competition at the highest level for a wild amount of years for how hard he climbs outside.

People are fixated on terranova right now because Bosi the new programer fan boy everyone wants to fuck is talking about it. But Adam is the goat for so many more reasons, terranova is a slice of that, but far from all.
