there was once a massive three point tick mark on directissima, brownstones. each point was 1.5m long and the centre was ythe left hand slot that most people only use for feet, when you can see it fine.

Ange naif at 95.2, font. Much higher than it looks, and for the full tick the heel out left is banned. Not a very nice crimp either, font has much better to offer.

crimp busted my tip open after 3 goes - damn straight. like JB sez 7c or + for a bad blinkers sequence, 7b/+ for the pictured heel ting. not feally an amazing problem but a good one to never have to try again.

best sequence is to continue walking past 95.2, which is overcrowded and badly eroded, to gros sablons and do some class probs (bibop, la liberte, l'oeil de cyclone) in a stunning setting probably without a soul about

good point, conversely just stay off the shit "gotta do" ticks n then ask yourself why in the name of all that's holy is le yaniro thing given 6c+/7a when in reality it's gotta be 7c

I think you must have to dislocate your hip to static that.

Just been out to Almscliffe this afternoon and was greated by this on the Keel (sorry, Fin)!!



I mean, how blind do you have to be not to be able to see that pocket from 18 inches away! And just to finish it off, Matts roof had a similar sized mark pointing out the obvious crimp. Maybe this guy had a photographer over at Caley or something and he needed directing to the correct holds.

Whoever did this, get some glasses or stop climbing. Youre ruining the place

The two huge lines to the top holds on Matt's were there on tuesday as well.  The worst i've seen recently is the overchalking of DWR left hand since it appeared on yorkshiregrit - it seem someone has to have 4" diameter chalk cirles around all of the crimps to make it possible.

Is it just me, or do these ludicrous tick marks almost invariably appear on extremely bloody obvious holds that are already drenched in some much chalk they're visible from outer space anyway??

Fiend, If you think the tick marks at font were bad, you should see em at magic wood. The euro's love it

a bunch of spaniards left these for me to clean up today at curbar:



these were like crosstown traffic - THICK. I needed a bucket and spade to shift them without filling up the pit. Thanks hombres.

on the not of the pit, some pillock put a pointy monitor-sized block under where you land off hurricane (why?) that i had to move and also i swear that block behind GW is further away from the backwall than it used to. might just me my imagination. why do people feel the need to fucking shift rocks about?
