Wow, don't hear of many repeats of PP! Cap duly doffed.

What up with La Merveille as well? One of the best lines I've seen yet not climbed by many it seems.

Is that the highball or the groove thing to the left of the dalle du fer which is 7c but looks 6c?

Great line, since the breakage of a hold don't you need to pull on a minging crimp?

I did the first ascent since the hold breakage of Manchester Dogs today. Its not changed the grade i don't think,  probably still  V11? :shrug:  but you have to use a heel to do the move to flat hold at top now as you can't get a good enough drop knee in anymore.

Finally got round to uploading a pic from this. You can see the jug at the start is now broke. Was a tad green so looks a bit grim, but it is a great problem!

Harry Fogg did (CJD's?) Dutch Gold in Glendo on saturday in about 3 or 4 go's. Not the biggest number, but 8a's don't get done in Ireland too often. Waddage.

Yep, he's a home grown mutant  :) Shit, I can't even imagine starting any lower! I'm sure he'll have a look though, he's done almost everything else in the valley.

That looked at least well quite hard.

PS Maybe a change of user name might be a good idea?

Nike are notoriously litigous.  Any way what about Robert Kilroy Lincoln? :P

Interesting that he chose to use the tensioned sling instead of all the gear in the slot, why was that??

Impressive stuff, confirms it as a major route.

Quote from Jordan

"He chose to try the sling because he had tested the gear I used on the first ascent (out right, where I originally started FD) and it had exploded spectacularly when he rested on it. Uh-oh! Anyhow, he climbed up and placed his sling and some VERY low cams, down climbed, and then had to sit out a rain shower."

Ah right. And that gear looked so bomber in Posing Prod's clip too....

I was thinking it was to avoid getting snagged in the right hand rope.
