R-man's new problem at Weasel Quarry, Cadshaw -  Madferret 7B

Standing start is slightly easier at 7A+

Nice. Instantly putting his own guidebook out of date.

Dagnabbit, they were one yo list to go back to!  Nice to see that line get done though.

There's a few more lines to go back for G, if youi're back in the game that is!!

The climbing there seems to be the sort that looks easy until you actually get on it...
Maybe stays dry, so potential winter venue but the cracks probably seep.

That happened some time ago, shortly after it went to the printers! But I have tried to plan for this to an extent. The guidebook lists lots of projects that I have spotted over the years - this one is problem 22, page 135.

And on the website there is a new problems page where people can easily check if anything new has been done at any venue - crags are listed alphabetically so it's fairly simple to have a quick skim through before you go somewhere.

UKC just published my article about Lancs bouldering. I know some of you don't check UKC, but maybe this will be of interest... http://www.ukclimbing.com/articles/page.php?id=6779

A couple of new esoteric problems from Knowle Heights yesterday.  Good moves, or so I'm told since I couldn't do them.  Can't embed for some reason (stupidity, I expect).

Nice moves R-man. Retro feel to the venue. Goes beyond esoteric.

Haha, what a way to resurrect the thread! The graffiti is a bit of an eyesore, but considering it's so close to Darwen it's actually quite pleasant. A decent set of problems in a sunny little hollow.

The graffiti in the 2nd clip does look a bit like the Dark Throne logo.

Not sure that compensates for pico-eliminates that don't top out tho.

Can't be bothered to garden the 5m of easy rock above. First one isn't eliminate. Second one is.

Despite having stared at so much of their oeuvre, I am not much wiser about the graffiti makers and their lives.

Oddly, I had the DarkThrone shirt on whilst filming. Spooky.

So it's the proximity to Darwen that makes it shit?

That makes sense, think of the world-class bouldering venues which are miles away from Darwen, like Bishop, Rocklands, Castle Hill...

So is Darwen like an amphidromic point of bouldering? Wonder where the other ones are?

New and old problems from Montcliffe. The highball is great - been looking at it for years, but last year finally cleaned the top and sorted the landing. The 7C is good too, possibly stiff at the grade. Polish Dave psyche made me try this one again, and it's a cracker.

Nah, my thermals! Merino wool, I'll have you know. I forgot my climbing trousers that day, so it was either that or show off my legs...
