I was never less than about 10 1/2 stone when climbing at my best and I never dieted. So ner.

DG did have quite an extended stay in Sheff a year or two back and didn't manage The Ace despite a fair amount of effort. To be fair I have heard mutterings that the LH sloper/crimp has eroded a bit and is now better than it used to be and DG would have been trying it before the change.

I think I may be the originator of this story. When I tried it in March '09 I noticed that it seemed a crystal or two crumbled out of the right hand end of the LH crimp, making it more positive for your index finger. That is indeed after DG's visit in, I think Oct '08, but it didn't look fresh though so its possible any change pre-dated his trip. Or it may have been entirely my poor recall of its prior state and the divot may been there all along...

Either way its academic as we had exactly this discussion at the crag and P-Rob showed us how he didn't use it anyway - he preferred taking the hold further left where it's more uniform.

I was never less than about 10 1/2 stone when climbing at my best and I never dieted took copious amounts of drugs to keep my weight down. So ner.

[Stubbs]

Is there some media etc. of P Rob's crushing?  I know a tree can't fall over in a wood in the Peak without someone taking some video of it!

apparently...

[Johnny Brown]

I've got some pics of The Ace, but I'll probably whore them round the mags first. There was quite a lot of footage captured, but mostly on P-Rob's camera. So probably keep an eye on his blog.

And the guidebooks, maybe?

[Johnny Brown]

I don't want to do myself down, but I suspect there are better pics for the guide.

beard.

I've seen them and they're far from definitive. Mainly because Lee's not spotting.

[andy_e]

No video stills then?

[SA Chris]

Are Robinson's ascents actually classed as valid though? He looks as if he weighs less than Bennett and surely that's just cheating?

I think that depends on the wind speed and direction, as ratified by an Olympic official.

there are alot of climbs in wales id like too see some of these big guns have a go at i.e silk cut

[Doylo]

He'd run up silk cut but id  like to know what he thought of gaskins pill box problem.

Not being shy of the crimp. I would put money on 10 minutes to dispatch...

[Doylo]

I wouldn't, it even took jonny 2 hours and he  was the best on coins

[Grubes]

Has that problem been repeated by anyone yet?

[Doylo]

No

[ducko]

you think he'd find it that easy? thats impressive if so!

[Adam Lincoln]

If Doylo disagree's i'd be inclined to go with what he thinks. He knows better than anyone what's needed to do the pill box problem. He has seen enough wads try.

[Doylo]

you think he'd find it that easy? thats impressive if so!

Yes but he's probably top 3 In the world right now.Tyler didn't have much joy on pill box problem and he wasn't too shabby.

[ducko]

not disagreeing at all, thats very impressive althou looking at his video's he is a beast !

[Richie Crouch]

I think as bad as they are aesthetically, it would be good to see Il Pirata/shadowplay climbed!
