Didn't she once have a go on a UKB regular as well?

I hope we're not still talking about BR...

Your hope is not in vain

Not sure if this is significant or not, but Sylvain Millet repeated Flight of Ideas at Stanage last spring, according to the Peak article in this mag : http://www.escalademag.com/escalademag-n%C2%B051

Mind you, I think he might be on the wrong side of the arete in that picture??

He is indeed, the left side is a new P-Widdy E6 6c, done a year or two ago.

.....I'd imagine he would be "reticent" on the matter.

Mayan Smith-Gobat, together with David Falt, has made the third free ascent of Donnafugata on Torre Trieste, Civetta, Dolomites. 750m, 8a ground-up, in a 32 hour single push with no bivy gear.

Here's a video with Robinson doing it, for an idea of how hard it looks.

Awesome. This finally puts to bed all the bollocks talked by naysayers about her only being good because she's light / small as she's clearly heavier than P-Rob.

Fiend · « **Reply #3264 on:** August 08, 2012, 12:52:18 pm »

Not enough gangstaisms in that video, an unpimped bmw is hardly hood is it

The kid only managed it because of small fingers, obviously

Even my late grandma at 93 was more gangsta than P-Rob.
Then again: small fingers, every hold is a jug, if I had started at her age, etc. etc.

Wonder if she will "do a Nalle" and downgrade it?

boulderingbacon · « **Reply #3267 on:** August 10, 2012, 09:30:45 pm »

just wanted to give phil rose a mention as previously said he did keen roof the other day and made it look piss. He deserves everything he gets out of climbing too as he puts so much training in. beast!

Some folks may have seen it on his blog already but notable fat man Barrows has climbed Quenelle Trophy/Les Maux de la Fin, 8c+ in Gorges du loup

Significant if only for the truly horrendous conditions he did it in, but the truly awesome Mawson did True North yesterday.

Wow truly awesome! Makes the rest of us complaining about the conditions look like wimps.

JohnM · « **Reply #3271 on:** August 22, 2012, 11:58:29 am »

Yeah I hate people doing stuff like this when I spent the whole day moaning about conditions

It was the same the day Caff did Big Bang as well!

Doylo · « **Reply #3272 on:** August 22, 2012, 08:50:58 pm »

Mawsome did Mecca Extension today too.
