Seriously what is going on?  Matt Welsh?  What was he even doing there?  Anyway don't trust his grade as he thought the crux at the top of a 50 m sport route in Kalymnos was V5!

It's my understanding that he binned off a trip to Malham with Donnelly and ended up there!! Wonders will never cease....

I know, it's mental. I went to LPT last Saturday and Matt was in the cave. Really good conditions down there but no, Matt was in the cave. It won't last, he fell off Parisella's Original with the heel-toe fully locked in and missed the huge stack of mats he had placed in the wrong spot. Matt landed on his back in the dirt, covered himself in cuts, and so I can't imagine he will be rushing back again.

Come on compiler! Got some Crouch heckling to do!

[fatneck]

Given that Compiler is clearly on holiday... A thoroughly well named problem from Mr Crouch! But 7b/+?

60 All Out! 7B/+ - 08/08/2015
 
Rich demonstrating 60 All Out! 7B/+ Photos: Laura





Rich Hession has climbed a cool looking line at Trwyn Talfarach. 60 All Out! 7B/+ starts as for Problem 42 (in Area 2) matched on the lowest undercuts in the roof. Slap straight out left to a lip sloper and use the large fin/flake jug for a big right toe-hook. Keep going left along some small pinches and dimples into the rising crack line via some burly moves. When you get the good bit of the break/crack, finish directly up the groove via lots of good holds (Problem 41).

“It's a bit eliminate as it avoids using the big flake for hands at the start but it makes perfect sense when climbing it and flows very well. It felt in the 7B/+ ballpark. but may feel a lot easier in winter I guess. Eliminating the big fin/flake all together will be possible, but significantly harder!” Said Rich.
