Yesterday Nacho Sanchez did Lou Ferrino without either of the chipped pockets at the end. Not sure if it's been done before. Ben Pritch was there so may be able to fill in some details/prospective grade etc.
Nice one beast!

I was going to post a news item on NWB, but then I thought, hang on minute this isn't Almscliff, we don't write up sans chip problems or eliminates...and then I remembered Full Circle, but then I remembered that some people don't even consider that is an eliminate, but then I remembered that some do because you can escape into LF and I also remembered that there is plenty of non eliminate news to get excited about, such as this:

i thought LF without the pockets was a pretty old problem. i know it's been done before, but i can't remember any details whatsoever

It was done about 10 years ago without the right hand pocket by Dave Redpath.

Not 100% sure but I saw a guy do this some months ago! What I'm not 100% sure about is whether he missed out both drilled pockets I'm almost sure he did though, he was with Leah Crane at the time think he was Spanish small mutant fellah!?

Yea that's the guy Nacho! Someone should get hold of him and ask whether he did it before Christmas!?
