this is called danny's wall 7c+, originally climbed by danny brooks and reclimbed by jonhy welford a couple of years ago.

very good line and also very difficult to get established on the problem let alone climb the damn thing :cry:

good luck dave! :wink:

Danny was a strong little mofo wasn't he? See him about a bit but not sure if he even still climbs.

I used to share a house with him years ago - originally from the South West but been in Sheffield for years. Quite short but very strong fingers...

Not sure what else he did apart from his "Danny's" problems.

late 80's / early 90's. I think Danny's Problem was put up in the first wave of development on the Business Boulder by Jason Myers et al....

I shared a house with Danny for a while as well: Rundle Road, one of the classic Sheffield climbers' houses. Did you ever play at any of the Christmas dos there, Bubba?

Danny was very strong but was probably more into training than actually going out climbing. Used to do hideous deadhangs on the fingerboard that hung in the hall. Seen him whipping past in his Westfield in the last couple of years but haven't seen him on the crags for a long time.

Ah Rundle Road  :D  I lived there for a bit too, forgot you lived there as well.

Yes, definitely played at at least one party there.  Doesn't Danny own the house now?
