  As for good hard projects:
   Super steep arete right of Purple Haze - Rivelin.
 

 One down still quite a few to go.


Purple Haze? Is that the name of the traverse? Or is it something else?

Were you part of the team out yesterday? I was the one who wasn't JW. Very good effort by your mate. What's he calling it again?


Ignore me, haven't been paying attention and hadn't seen the thread on this in the news forum.


Hi mark, i was out yesterday, let us know if John gets round to repeating it. Would be cool to hear what he thinks.


Will do. I'll definitely be going back. Purple Haze looks good though don't think it's worth me trying Master Kush until I've spent a couple of winters on the campus board and the arm-stretching machine.  :wink:



Is this the equivalent of an internet Black Hole?


Its like when you point a camera at a TV screen its conected to.

is that right by the hut then? the only other bit of bouldering we could find when we were there was this block further up hill from the main area. did the line up the right (via the triangular hole) which I don't think had been done b4 due to the amount of vegitation growing out of it which was ok. was tryin the slab to the left but as mentioned earlier felt absolutely nails. has it been done?

An obvious problem is the blank wall beteen Monoblock (V10/11/12..,take a guess) and Bernie (V6) at Pex Hill. There  is space for a hard independant  problem to the  left  of the very old bolt.

Only those with very good footwork, balance and finger strength need apply.

Interesting looking back on this to see some have now been done, i.e. Careless Youth, that Dyno-but-actually-static thing at Turningstone (i think?) and more which I've forgotten...

I am currently trying to find enough sticks to shake at my projects. Unfortunatley, I can only climb once a week at the moment, so if any ones sees a good bundle of sticks anywhere, I can begin to crack on with 'em.  Also. Nige Callendar has a secret new area under wraps, near the village somewhere, with projects.  If anybody catches up with the skinny wriggler, I do believe it's time for pulling teeth.

(only joking Nige, you've got one more week...)

if it was me who posted that (use quote properly, tut tut) then i could have been on about the break-to-top line just right of True Git. i doubt anyones tried it seriously though, its just a conceptual possibility. If it wasn't be that posted that then fuck knows.

There's the direct finish to Long's lock, that would fit? The start is a more worthwhile possibility though.
