and the funny thing is, neither ascent was the hardest of the day!

Absolutely, me and Nathan were totally hussled by Pete W. The best line on the crag has now been done. That one trick, rubber hipped pony is on fire.

Dark matter?

Johnny Brown · May 05, 2013, 08:15:28 am

Holy shit, assuming its the project under appointment, its big news! Question is, will he call it Appointment with Jeff? I hope there was a decent photographer there, can't wait to see pics.

According to Wild Country on everyone's favourite social networking site:

Big day at Wimberry yesterday Tom Randall gets 2nd ascent of 'Appointment with Death' Pete Whittaker adds new E9(?)

and

Tom and Pete's adventures filmed by Hot Aches Productions big thanks to Adrian Samarra Productions...should be two awesome videos...not often you get two E9's on film in a day and a first ascent to boot!!

leeroy · May 05, 2013, 08:48:37 am

photographers and cameramen, the edit will be awesome, and mike seemed chuffed with his pics!

nai · May 05, 2013, 09:09:51 am

From WC on twitter:

Pete Whittaker big new route at Wimberry yesterday...arete left + below Appointment with Fear....'8b and safe' according to Randall. E9 7a?

a dense loner · May 05, 2013, 09:46:38 pm

So is it a sit start to fear? Death still to come

Bonjoy · May 06, 2013, 06:54:52 pm

Wow! I'm sure Miles reckon that was going to be two e grades harder than Danger Mouse. I'm guessing he must have missed a gear trick, but even so...
Awesome work fellas!

What a line: http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.html?id=125664
I wonder how many ascents MaDMAn has had? Makes a lot of E8s look like baby E8.

Have there been any?

Total kudos to all involved on Saturday.

tomtom · May 12, 2013, 05:24:30 pm

Nice write up by Pete of his, Tom and Nathans great day out at Wimberry

Wow!

Danny · May 13, 2013, 10:20:02 am

Amazing. Pete Whittaker - purveyor of the best E9 prows on grit? Now Partheon is dead his thing at Burbage is the one to do and, visually, I think it's the better line anyway. Looking forward to seeing the footage.

Bonjoy · May 13, 2013, 10:23:15 am

Hate to be the pedant, but how is this a significant repeat? $:-\$

grimer · May 13, 2013, 10:26:22 am

I've said it before and I'll say it again: This is not a repeat.

slackline · May 13, 2013, 10:26:34 am

I guess because 2 out of 3 of the ascents reported in Pete's blog were repeats thats why its been posted here.

You're repeating it's not a repeat? Is that a double negative? Is this a coded message to say Pete's ascent wasn't the first? What other signs should we look for? Swallows flying upside-down underneath the prow?

shark · May 13, 2013, 12:52:20 pm

Hard to split the topic now though it should have its own thread

shurt · May 13, 2013, 01:26:06 pm

Well whatever thread it should be in I think it was cool he kept Miles' name for the route because its great. Nathan should of called his new route Penfold maybe?!

a dense loner · May 13, 2013, 01:33:05 pm

I'm being a bit dumb here, miles' name? What route are we on about?

Grubes · May 13, 2013, 01:42:59 pm

I thought the project name was appointment with fred?

Apparently Miles Gibson had tried the line a while back so Pete Whitty gave the route the name that Miles had lined up for it, if he had done it. A modest nod to development.

a dense loner · May 13, 2013, 01:49:25 pm

No nod at all. That was sam's name in homage to a shit dj which I have been forced to endure over the years, nothing to do with miles. He was torn between calling "death" "jeff" but didn't in the end. This name was banded about when the lines were first tried back after the day, of fear obviously

right ok, nice insight.

tomtom · May 13, 2013, 01:56:45 pm

Sorry for posting it here.. I couldn't find a 'significant new stuff' thread...

Still I gave all the pedants a chance for a good work out

It is a cracking line!

Poll

Pete Whittaker's new route at Wimberry should be called ...
