Gerty Berwick second ascent (Read 37220 times)

No one else saw the original post? For shame. s
till, I saw it, but it would be rude of me to drop names.
However, now I'm playing games.
Perhaps I can do the auto suggestion thing? That's my aim. s
o please don't shoot me down in flames.
Remember, I said nothing. I'm not to blame. s
orry this reads like patrul. It's not really the same. s
ee if you can finish off this sentance. It was .......

..... someone with a lisp?

..... talks like Goron Brown?

......someone whose username ends _ _ _ _ _ _.s?

Sorry to ruin the elimination process, but I cannot rule myself out entirely: I know where the route is, am prone to sleepwalking, and have no witnesses or recollection for the period from 10pm thurs to 11 am fri. I am also tall and woke up with seeping fingertips. Admittedly the ascent would be a considerable step up in difficulty from a previous best of E3 but.....

keenus, didn't ask him about pads and he didn't want to comment on the grade just yet.
Bon fuckin effort yoot!

Zods Beard · February 13, 2009, 07:34:01 pm

Yeah, good effort.

Paul B · February 13, 2009, 07:35:01 pm

Well... it should at least make for an interesting blog post...

Bon Effort,

( E5? )

Seriously good repeat, although I hope James has more dignity than to comment on the grade.

James updated his blog yesterday with a post entirely about grades and no mention of Gerty.... the plot thickens. Hopefully it was James who repeated it, I heard he was already trying it before Ryan bagged it. Maybe we are at the mercy of Climb playing the 'exclusive' game again.

There's a mention of it on the climb website:

Mystery solved then, bon effort James. Strange climb seem unable to use the name though... I'll be interested to hear how it compares with The Groove, always looked harder to me.

Jim · February 15, 2009, 01:08:54 pm

I don't lie adam, it wasn't a mystery.
Pads were used, James will be putting something on his blog when he gets time.
It was much harder for James as Ryan lanked all the hard moves, Quote "probably impossible for dwarfs" and probably even harder for anyone that isn't tall or doesn't have a big span.
Hopefully he'll give his opinion on the grade despite all the shit over grades recently.

Sorry word, forgot your post.

I thought they were about the same height, long arms must be useful then.

i can see simmonite at the top of the crag now, cigar in corner of mouth, canon in one hand, sniper rifle in the other, taking potshots at any chavs turning up who look like they've got a cameraphone.

So did I but it seems Ryan has got quite a bit of reach on James
