Valentine's Day treat for the remergence aficionados. Did this linkup tonight, been working towards this for a while so pretty psyched. One for the locals obviously. I've got to say 8a as it's easily a grade harder than the Blind Ali's Date linkup. Possibly dodgy logic but you've got to start somewhere.

If it's been done before the usual suspects have kept it quiet/offline. Speak now.

For the sake of clarity, usual conventions apply on both the constituent problems - hands off the backwall on Ali, the edge next to the BF sloper is out, as are the remergence lip holds. Standard stuff.

[lagerstarfish]

nice one Dave

[a dense loner]

Nice work Dave, made it look easy!

[T_B]

Yep made it look p*ss

[dave]

Cheers gents. Actually fell off the top rockover twice before doing it due to being fucked/numb hands, once on friday and once last night. Was amazed to get another decent go that session.

[Johnny Brown]

Nice work, all the big lines going down at the mo!

Slightly OT but yesterday Stu described to me the way he did Blind Date whic was using the pebble with his left hand and going to the second slot directly with his right which sounded like it almost qualified as a separate problem to me.

Similar to Andy Harris's Blind Fury? (Sure I've seen a vid of that but can't find it now)

Nice one Dave.

[dave]

Isn't Stu's way pebble left hand right heel in the roof hold and lock up? Just a different sequence on what is basically the same line and holds. Similarly i'm sure I've seen Huffy lock straight to the LH slot from RH on the lip with a shite looking left heel, and finish without matching the slots.

Nice, nice video too. It doesn't look as mind-bogglingly awful as I'd expect from a Remergence area link up

Yes. It's this.

[nik at work]

Nice Dave

[haydn jones]

Thats the one robin.

[dave]

I'm assuming he's not done it as he's not videod it or added it on UKC or peakbouldering, as he did with the other linkup.

P.S. that daterape one really wants doing starting as for blind ali.....

[SA Chris]

Nice, nice video too. It doesn't look as mind-bogglingly awful as I'd expect from a Remergence area link up 

Surprised you haven't called him out for being too tall, or not looking like he's trying hard enough.

[a dense loner]

I nearly called him out for being too tall but I liked the vid
