Then did a weird route called Vogon which goes up Monday Blue (the arete on the right), then traverses across the break at 2/3rds height to finish up Little Unconquerable. The reason for the name only dawned on me this morning (and its very apt ).

Pray tell?

Vogons are the aleins in Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy that plough through the middle of solar systems to make the Intergalactic Highway (at least in the first book thats what they're doing).

Cough cough....

don't know what you're talking about? Stop trying to make me look bad

Fiend · May 22, 2009, 11:34:26 am

Scuttling left at the top of RU is comparable to scuttling down from the break on WSS $:-\$

SA Chris · May 22, 2009, 11:35:45 am

Cheers. I know who Vogons are (were?) but didn't get the link.

Sorry wasn't trying to give you eggs to suck, just trying to be comprehensive in my explanation.

I've never understood why the Little Unc has got 'a reputation' though.

I agree with you there, it's not that bad really. I can't even jam properly and I managed to do it. Incidentally that was one of the best evenings I've had I think. A friend and I came back from an unsuccessful day elsewhere with too much light left to go home, so nipped up and did all 3 unconquerables for the first time in about 45 minutes as the sun set. It was awesome.

Johnny Brown · May 22, 2009, 11:45:08 am

Fiend, you ignore the fact that a) it ain't really an escape and I still topped out, and b) need I mention, I've since topped out direct, solo, barefoot with my cock out.

I've got it JB = Mike Robertson, Quick will update your list.

This is definitely a stylistic improvement over just trainers $:-\$

You should write that up as a new eliminate version and post it in the news forum. Uh oh, unless you'd count that as willy waving.

Arse. Just returned from a sticky afternoon at the 'cliff. How is it possible for me to get so shit so quickly? I've not climbed for 2 weeks - and before I went away was climbing 7a, get back and I couldn't even waddle up Morrels Wall.... conditions were not THAT bad....
Is it possible to get that fat and out of condition in such a short period of time?

I know....

Johnny Brown · June 02, 2009, 06:44:27 pm

Just blame the conditions. Its 10 degrees hotter than a fortnight ago.

SA Chris · June 03, 2009, 08:09:05 am

That aint gonna fly for failing on Morrell's. Put it down to high gravity or something.

Afraid so, Morrells was relatively icy... I put it down to general shitness..

BB · June 12, 2009, 11:39:15 am

No, No and indeed fucking NO!

I appear to have sustained a rotator cuff strain whilst spending the day fly fishing. A mere 7 days before leaving for 2 weeks chuffing on the Costa Blanca.

Shit Shit Shit!

Nibile · June 16, 2009, 08:14:02 pm

i got the first hard punch from the summer today.
34° in the shade today while cycling home, i just passed out on the bed seconds after finishing lunch and couldn't move for hours.
it'll be a long long (and cruel) summer.

neil h · June 16, 2009, 08:23:08 pm

well it hit 30 in the forest and i managed a 7c in full sun

Nibile · June 16, 2009, 08:34:08 pm

yes about 47000 of them

i am trying

Charles · June 21, 2009, 07:24:43 pm

This is a bit of a delayed NNFN as its only starting to sink in how annoyed I am!

Last Tuesday I fell off Powerhumps with my fingers over the finishing jug! NNFN!!!

Four sessions! I've never spent as long on a problem! Its ridiculous! And now I've injured my finger so I'll be back to square one on that and Powerband where I also fell off with my fingers tickling the undercut - twice!!!!!.

moose · June 21, 2009, 08:13:59 pm

NNNNNNFN! Went to Brimham and fell from the last move of the Pinky Traverse five times. I suppose I deserve it for trying such a slopey horror-show on a hot summer's day.... Now I have no skin (most of my right hand is stuck to the upper flake) and even hotter weather to come means bugger-all prospect of seeing it off any time soon.

neil h · June 22, 2009, 05:14:26 pm

i just got back from rainbow rocket, day 2 on the beast hitting the top pretty much every time but I cant hold it

Nibile · July 04, 2009, 09:18:27 pm

NNFN!!!!!!
bad day out today (as bad as climbing is obviously), it was so fucking humid, the worst possible conditions that still remain climbable!!!
i didn't do anything, the project that my friends are progressing on felt impossible, and got a deep hole in my left index.
dammit.

For your height it must be all of 7a.

andy_e · July 19, 2009, 05:12:10 pm

I fell off the last move of Screaming Slave again.
