Managed my project today after many visits to clean it and several to practice.  A future esoteric classic?   ;)

Over left of the Roadworks area in the main Quarry is a well defined arete in its upper reaches.  This is climbed on the right with the hardest move being the last (although the top out felt the crux today 'cos I totally fucked it up).

Tallies can slap the left hand up and up the arete to catch the top in a dynamic slap.  Shorties method involves an even more tenuous rock up on a right heel.

Hadn't realised you were out.  Hope you're OK.

You can have a laugh once this vid is posted.

I'm not surprised with a HV30 for a spotter!

 ;D Fantastic, can you get some different tee's with the new found fame and fortune?

You coming out of the project 'bubble' now G, or are there more in the pipeline?

The sponsors wouldn't let me  ;)

Got a couple more projects in the pipeline in ever increasingly grotty Lancs quarries.

I'll probably be out tomorrow, if only to witness BeardyBeast crushing 8a or more.

Nice one! Looks scary! Did you ever test the top rock to see if it moved?

Dangled off it once on shunt, it seemed OK for a downward pull but didn't dare do a high foor and pull on it to rock up.

Good effort beast! Top out looked exciting. Lighten up on the new route names though, eh? ;)
