Visionary. Thats the way forward for far out bouldering. After the last few months even more so. And up here you'd save a shit tonne on the ferries too. If anyone knows any ebike companies that need ambassadors hit me up.

What you talking about, Lewis?

Not even. The ferry to Mull is 30 quid or more each time with the car. 7 quid by bike! And none of the bouldering is that far on the other side (Loch Buie, Gribun), just a bit much for a push bike. Same for the Barra boulder, or Arran, or that big glen on Lewis for any Ullapoodlians. The glen tarbert boulders cost 15 quid return on the Corran ferry each time. Thats free with a bike! If the bikes 3 grand youd only have to go 600 times. Then there are load of big boulderfields on the mainland with a 2hr estate track walk. At 60mph you'de be in to Daves new boulderfield near Glenfinnan in 10mins from the road. I think its got legs.

Sorry for getting off topic... Good discussion  :thumbsup:

Great discussion. Good effort to all who have done hard shit and those who have posted on the thread.

This thread is a nice mixture between cool stuff and groundbreaking stuff. Context is everything surely and for people like me who pathologically refuse to get instagram its a good place to read about it without the bollocks that it comes with on Insta. Keep posting all!

 :agree:  :goodidea:

Also top post Dan, interesting read as usual, you should write more when you can fit it in...

This is the 1st place I look for news of what’s happening and the first bit of the forum I look at so keep it up.

All points mentioned are note worthy. Not worth there own thread but worth being on here. The big stuff gets its own thing I guess.

It would appear that 15 year old French team member Oriane Bertone has climbed Satan I Helvete Low (Font 8C) 🤯

Think this is first repeat since it broke?

Well the secret to her success is:

Quote
Become and relive each day, renew and reinvent yourself with new shades of color on our canvas. Simply progress, move forward and keep your head up high. Dare to accept yourself as you are. Dare to accept being kneaded, molded and shaped with defaults and qualities, and that perfection and achievement of results doesn’t simply mean accomplishment. Accomplishment is the accumulation, the acceptance that our falls, our adjustments, our fears, our doubts, our abandonments and our surpassings are neither useless nor lost. That the way taken may be the right one, and that the longest path sometimes hides more treasures than the shortest path. It is thanks to all these stages, these stops, these injuries, these fears, tears and these questions that each in his own way progresses and advances.

So you'd expect pathing it.

90% sure Charles did it a few weeks ago. Very impressive anyway.

Edit: or at least, I definitely saw a vid of him doing it on an Insta story and I think he started from the low, but might have been a move in.

Yes that would sound totally unpretentious in her first language..

Bon effort though!

Ah thanks for that, says at the end that Charles has repeated the low start so that must have been the vid I saw.

Ned put probably the hardest problem on grit up this week.

Thought sprung to mind today on this for some reason; why hasn't more been made of it? New hard boulder problem in the middle of the Peak, took one of the UK's best more than a season of effort, so likely to now be the hardest problem on grit (given Ned did Voyager Sit in 3 sessions...), even if it is "only" 8B+.

No news article on the other channel, no interview, no video, nothing. Seems rather a shame to me. Shark fancy doing another interview?

Maybe not grade significant for her but still pretty cool in my opinion. She hikes Partage and Big Bang doesnt see many ascents but mainly cause it's always wet.

Nice! Anyone seen other comp wads out on the real thing while walls are shut? Surprised Janja hasn't ticked Slovenia in the last few weeks - Jernej Kruder seems to have made a good start!

Laura Rogora has done Pure Dreaming Plus 9a+. Second ascent after Ondra apparently. And no knee pad by the looks of it. https://www.instagram.com/p/CA0sy3zoq5s/
