They're waaay better than my two saggy old micro Pods that were great for providing anti-padding!!

The beer towel was in heavy use for wiping sheepshit off my shoes after every mission abort....

Chris: ugghhhh not a relaxing way to camp up for the night!

Didn't realise you lads were from the era of beer towels!? 

[mrjonathanr]

I get more scared now on NTBTA above 3 pads than I ever did above a beer towel borrowed from the Scotsman’s Pack..

[Fiend]

Had a good meal in the Scotsman's Pack the other weekend, nice to see they're still reliable for a post-Stanage binge.

I did NTBTA above a beer towel despite owning pads - I'd just been inspired to do it the old-fashioned way, having wanted to do it for years before pads existed.

I once had a Perrier "beer towel", that suited me a lot better, I lost it somewhere tho.

NTBTA - never been brave enough to try that, but the crux is pulling on, right? A few moves up and it gets a lot easier? Really must get round to it some day...

[mrjonathanr]

Two fingery moves then heel hook to glory (and a bit of a rockover to finish)

I'll go and do it with you Murph. It's on my list of problems that I'd want a spot and a few pads for but don't know anyone who hasn't done them before.

Thanks for the beta. Sound simple.

I'll go and do it with you Murph.

Nice one! Yeah let's get it done. The grit will dry out one day soon...

Another video, posted because some might be interested in the two boulders features, not sure there is many videos about of them, as alwasy, feed back welcome. thanks

Thanks Dave. I always enjoy your videos.

[asmallman]

Latest exploration:



In addition to not featuring any big numbers nor fancy camera angles as usual, this doesn't even feature a coordinated beanie nor any gabber. But it does show a nice selection of problems at yet another grossly underused crag (sunny, open, 5 minute downhill walk, much closer to the swarming mass of humanity down south etc)

Cool vids both of those last two. The mason one was v stylish but personally I liked the one with names, grades and guns probably a bit more.

[Fiend]

Was that mine?? If so, much appreciated. Glad you spotted the bonus feature

This doesn't feature as many guns but it does feature names (where they exist), grades (tentatively corrected) AND suggested stars:



It's also one I'm particularly chuffed with, included:

5 grade spread from easy to medium
4 boulder problems
3 distinct styles of climbing
2 hidden gems
1 awesome soundtrack

4 uses of a knee.

I enjoy these little vids. I have not been to this crag nor shitlington. Will make the effort once the weather improves and my childs rugby/football taxi service ends in 4 weeks.

[Fiend]

Nice one GME, partly/mostly why I'm doing them is trying to share the exploration psyche

Still got some more to do at The Stell and some highballs at Shitlington and High Crag....

[SA Chris]

Good questing btw Matt. Some nice looking stuff recently.

Need to cobble together a NQBV of some of the new S Aberdeenshire coastal stuff to get psyche up for spring.

[gme]

High crag is also on the list. Need to spend more time out West this year.

[Will Hunt]

Fiend, when are you doing the tour of Yorkshire's scrittly side?

Will - when I live a bit / lot closer?? The A68 is already taking it's toll on my soul
