Got trapped on top of the deliverence boulder after climbing up in the dark and not being able to see the holds to get back down, had to ab off, using Duncan as a convienient anchor on the other side of the boulder.

A bit stanage centric, but life is great.
:wank:

"Calum Nicoll - 19 - is a student doing physics in London. He bounces very well, has climbed XS and has been featured on BBC News for his climbing. He tried to solo the West Face of the Dru for his first alpine route, failed but survived, and has since spent several seasons in Chamonix, climbing numerous new routes. He once killed a deer with his bare hands, then spent the rest of the year eating it. "

I think its easy to draw a conclusion what kind of character this t**t is, after reading that....

His partner in crime.

Struan Chisholm - 18 - is a student at Cambridge, doing History. He's a survival expert and will supply the expedition with as much fish as he can catch in the canoe he built out of sticks. He climbs only in big boots, recently managing an E1 onsight solo (Monolith Slab) in the rain. He spent last summer living in a cave in the alps and climbing hard.

When I first opened that thread I expected a unanimous consensus that doing this is completely wrong and there would be no arguement. Not quite the case it seems...

If it's not this moron, there are definitely some other south lancs dry toolers who should know better.

The very nature of crags like Anglezarke and Denham mean that the rock is pretty friable especially in winter. I've pulled holds off at both crags without a bloody ice axe!

This sort of behaviour should be left to established winter venues.

Millstone's not immune either, my friend pulled a hold off of Bond Street earlier this year (should have been jamming, but there).

I was seriously fucked off with the damage at Denham, yeah it's a bit of a Lancs venue but it's next to home and I like it.
To morons:  If I catch any of you fuckers dry tooling there I'm going to go up top and throw sheep at you until you cry.

I'd say that would be cruel to the sheep but they are hardened Lancastrian sheep, so i think they can handle it.

Just seen this on UKC   :jaw:   :wank:

http://www.ukclimbing.com/forums/t.php?n=436389



Looking at the various threats of violence on that thread I imagine M*ck must be right now typing an email to his site's sponsors encouraging them to withdraw their sponsorship?
Sorry T&S.

Brilliant!

The more I hear and the more I see about this Callum the more of a bell end he becomes!

I still can't believe he actually thought it was ok to rock up to Millstone and start smashing about with his axes, what a tool!  :furious:
