I know where it is, and it aint 7b!

It was always known locally as Ollie's Roof, but Simon Panton named and graded it Too Drunk 7a (pg 275 - Ru's bible).

Is that the one with the hideous mono or the arete from a sitter?

Oh yes, thats why I hadn't heared of it. Shame. I was hoping there was some unclimbed roof for me to do.

I'll be out early, so probably miss you. See if you can drag your lazy ass out of bed - plan is to try the traverse off left from Hard Arete (i.e. Tetris block).

Cheeky. Its pointless me getting up still drunk and climbing in the dark then doing fuck all all afternoon!!
Mine is a fairly straight forward lifestyle, work, climb, drink, sleep.

I was up there today from midday, theres a possible line right of 'Too Drunk' using the foot rail of 'Drunk Enough' have a look Dave.

Bit too ruddy cold for me up there today

What, you mean the arete of the roof leading up towards the finish to Ollie Roof?
