Can moss take the piss?

It can royally take the piss. Some of it can be really cheeky. I was there the other day and a bit of moss came by and told me my footwork was terrible. It even started comparing my footwork to that of Monolith's...

You're in cloud cuckoo land you are sunbeam! Let's take it to the board.

You've proven my point.

So the moss was saying you have the footwork of an Elephant in lead boots? Cheeky indeed.

Pisa and Memorial dry last night. Lady Jane damp. There was some form of party going on involving approx. 70 school leavers and copious quantities of beer. They were initially keen to fulfill our requests to collect their litter, unfortunately this had gone out of the window before we left and I imagine the place is in a bit of a state now. I suggest any visitors in the immediate future should pack a plasy bag or two

What a bunch of scum bags and what a shit venue selection for a school leavers do.

I take it you've never searched 'Pex Hill' on youtube then?

On tenterhooks for Pex Hill Park 2

I'm not joking when I say that guy in the glasses that pops in early on in that video is the guy I went to uni in Leeds with. Nuts if it is.

mrjonathanr · May 22, 2009, 07:17:33 pm

Seems to have been taken off but the only hits about a year ago were a few teenage girls getting dolled up and legless before going down to that well-known night-time hotspot, Pex. And that guy with the dog.

fatneck · September 03, 2009, 04:56:28 pm

Pex is in a right state at the moment. When we arrived last week there was this sign in place ...

Apparently the BMC and the local college have been contacted but I don't know any details...

Bastards...

There have been numerous posts about this recently on the other channel. One even looked close to coming to any sort of decision!
This is coming to a head. Something needs to be done and while we have the additional weight of the Parish Council we should be striking while the iron is hot. If there's anything I can do from Leeds I'd be more than happy to help.

Area meeting incorporating a representative from a local school and the local council and the BMC is needed. Now.

Pisa Wall is bone as and the obvious superb looking low traverse (7B?) across Vag Crap wall (back L-hand corner of the quarry the dryest I've seen it (i.e. actually dry).

And you're wondering who the culprit is!? There he is, right in front of us for all to see! BenF! Threw a tantrum no doubt after flailing on the nu skool south west method

Heard it was T-shirt weather at Pex today.

SpanishJuan · February 21, 2010, 10:54:36 am

A good inch of snow here today (so it's still tee shirt weather)

Will Hunt · August 04, 2011, 04:22:41 pm

I'm totally out of touch. After the downpour this morning will it be worth nipping in this avvie?

Richie Crouch · August 05, 2011, 10:05:08 am

I'd go the Hangar!

Monolith · August 05, 2011, 11:44:05 am

Get a fingerboard up and tape a fan next to it. Last I heard it was like peak capacity in the G-Bar in the hangar this time of year.

clm · November 13, 2011, 07:24:36 pm

Pisa wall dry today. Whole stretch across catalepsy and that mingin. Right of corner ok. Dry breaks and pockets. occasional slick of slime not really affecting climbing. Much of far side lookedvdry but I didn't climb on it.

Sidehaas · October 08, 2015, 08:49:15 pm

Any locals know what Pex is like currently and whether it's worth a trip at the weekend (assuming no more rain)?

Muesli · April 28, 2016, 01:56:51 pm

Any one have any info on the likely state of Pex at the moment is it likely to be too wet this time of year.
Keen to give it a go as I have a spare afternoon in near Widnes tomorrow and I've not been to Pex for ten years.
