...wasn't/isn't Nick good?

Yes. Blummin captain talent himself - we went to buoux last year and whilst I know he has been many times before and knows it well an so on, it was quite dismaying the speed and precision with which he climbs.

Anyway, well done Drew! which is actually what we are on about.

Has 2nd female ascent of rockatrocity not been mentioned yet. Young lass (Shawna?), first visit to the cave (I think), spent about 15 minutes sorting out the moves, fell off the final go-again move to the slot on her first go, then pissed it next go. No whooping, no fuss - all very cool-ly done.

Was warm as well.

Effort. Well done Naomi. Proper finish (i.e. clipping the belay from the jug) or jump finish?

She did the harder version with the jump finish. The same as on the first ascent.

Not seen mentioned anywhere, but an Aussie lass did Jerry's Roof in the Pass (wot I heard). 2nd female ascent? Don't know her name but apparently she's done Serpentine and we watched her stroll up Bloody Sunday in the Leap "learning to trad climb".

Good work to all recent significant repeaters.  :bow:

Ola,

Malc Smith repeated Mr Tickle 8a the other day at Dumbarton rock. Apparently he reckons that the grade is about right.

This info is all from Will who put up the problem very recently but he can't post cause he's away getting smashed in Wales for a week. He's pretty chuffed that malc repeated his problem and wanted the world to know asap.

There you go Will....the world now knows.

The girl's a mutant!

I wish I could agree that RA was a 'hard' problem Andy, but it really isn't. It just has an ending move that hates you. In context of Shauna's age etc, it is of course hard and I don't mean in any way to belittle what is a boomtown effort. She's certainly racking up a beer tab with all these sends if she's to be duly rewarded!

RA is a hard problem. The last move of RA is hard because the rest of the problem makes you fucked by the time you get there! Doing RA in a session is super imprrssive IMO, I bet other people who have done this will have been climbing in the 8's.  Inspiring stuff!

After Tuesday's shenanigans I have convinced myself that Parisella's Original is a lot harder than RA... as I failed on it yet could wink and french blow to Millso before casually matching on the latter  ;)

Shauna is truly brilliant, a proper all round climber (in terms of her techniques and skills on rock/plastic rather than her prowess on ice, alpine peaks, sport, trad etc).  She will go very far if she keeps up this progress and takes care not to get injured again.  Doing RA quickly like this is impressive but she's capable of much more.  It's great to see her getting out and climbing on rock rather than simply being the most incredible indoor climber. 

However if you are feeling humbled by her ability Tom, wait till I get her to Pex again.  Then we'll cut her back down to size.   ;)
