Don't think your ladder would be up to that Shark :)

You're right. I need a longer one.

I think the plank is genius. Wouldn't want to rack it onto my harness though.

Best use of a 2"x4" in climbing since the desert spires retrievable abseil anchor.

They don't appear to think its significant but both Nige Kershaw and Bob Hickish climbed Meshugah earlier in the week, good one fellas/lads/men!

Christ on a bike. I chatted with Nige about recent climbing for about an hour yesterday and he didn't even mention that!

Bob was equally reserved yesterday - after asking whether his trad week had been successful, he just said he was still alive.

Is headpoint it significant though? I'm kind of inclined to agree with them that its not.

My pulleys normally feel creaky rather than bright and chirpy!

Might have forgotten? Signed an exclusive deal with another news reporting site?

An accidental visit to 8a.youknowwhat reveals that mild-mannered Ted appears to be on the rampage at Smith Rock, and has done "To Bolt or not to Be".

I split Guy's post regards Baron Greenback direct into its own topic, here's the bit I also deleted from this thread in doing so.
