I had a look at Earth Rim Roamer a few years ago and the middle crack was missing. At this point it looked like traversing into the walk of life and climbing that would be the easiest option.

Too keen to demonstate my Culm-nerdery.

I managed to do ERR2 during it's brief existance.  Very good, as must be anything on that amazing slab. Checked-out the line of Dyer Straights / WoL whilst it was still a concept marked by Andy Donson's old pegs. Gulp.

Easier or harder than Territorio Comanche? Inquiring minds want to know.

So, personally, I’m going for a pint; since apparently I was too old 33 years ago and no one told me.

Didn’t even know he was trying it. Can’t have been many days on it or that conditions were good.

Cheers guys! was a massive relief as its getting warm out here in Smith. No more projects the other side of the Atlantic now  :please: Down the road to Kilney or the Tor will do just fine from now on! haha, the stool was crucial to the campus campaign! Got some footage, will get it together when I get the chance

8th ascent

Unless he had a load of air conditioning units hung on fixed ropes, I suspect conditions were very sub-bon.  I did not go to Malham, but the area was very misty and rainy today - warm, still, 95% humidity (I ended up going to Trow Gill and retreating due to swarms of midges and rain).

8 sessions by the sounds it. I can imagine conditions have been sub-optimal on a lot of those seeing some of the days he's been there. Impressive to say the least.
