Here is a very short video of 2 new little problems at Cadshaw River blocks. Quite fun really.
Whilst checking details for the bouldering guidebook, I've exchanged a few emails with John Gaskins - it turns out that about 8 years ago he did a couple of problems that he never reported.One of these is the prow at Lower Montcliffe - an impressive hghball LGP. He's called it Information Highway Revisited, and offered 7C+ as the grade. Fairly big news for Lancashire, just a surprise it wasn't harder!
Yep, that's the prow!I don't think it took him long at all. I had a go a couple of months ago - big undercuts to a couple of hard moves on small crimpy holds (I think this is the crux, I couldn't do it), then it looks like it might be a bit easier once you get onto the slabbier section. Very nice line, and the landing is a bit slopey but not too bad with a few pads.
Do you know if he taped it? Would be awesome to see that!It looked impossible, and the landing's shit so great to see it's been done!
How is the guide book coming along robin?
nice give me a shout if you want any punter grades checking this weekend. At a bit of a loose end and want to try some where new (which covers pretty much all of lancashire)-edit- Just seen I am pictured in the sample pages too
sample pages look great Robin - have you considered using a font other than Times for the text though? I always thing Times looks great on its own (on a blank page etc..) but gets a bit fussy when its used in boxes and on a page with lots of other info etc..?
