In an attempt to put this thread back on track: Tom Newman has repeated Fat Lip(8B) at Raven tor. Wonder if the sit will get done!!

Britains most psyched man, Dom Bridgewood, did Keen Roof this morning. Great work as it turned into a proper mental battle after he has dropped the end a good few (hundred) times!

Nice Dom.

The amount of people consistently climbing 8B in the UK is great, standards they are improving!

Hardly, it's took 8 years for someone to repeat fat lip. I swear a year or two ago there was very few climbers that had climbed more than 3 8B's now there is countless, which is awesome!

You must be going crazy.

It's just a picture of Adam Ondra with a big hairdryer.

It's a tiny mini painted rubber knee bar pad. Looked quite effective when I saw it! Nice and light and flexible too...

Anyone wanting to refresh their memory for Aliens quotes should read this - specifically the first paragraph of the story and then then the comment from 'herogram' (it's around six down) and the replies . . .

I was so deeply amused at the time that I can still find it now.
