Genius.

WTF?  lol

Tom Peckitt, a climber based in Leeds has climbed a new boulder problem at Almscliff in Yorkshire, which is a link up of two problems called The C&A Traverse and The Bulb,

 

The new problem is called Bulbhaul and has been given a suggested grade of V14 / Font8b+ , this is certainly ground breaking stuff as there is not many problems on Gritstone to be graded V14.

 

Most recently, a visiting climber climbed possibly the first ascent of the sit-start to the famous problem Brad Pit V9/V10 at Stanage, after pulling up into the starting position of the problem he then climbed the problem in the original style, first climbed by Myles Gibson, which didn't use the side-pull / gaston that the groove forms, and hit straight to the finishing hold from the starting holds, this is a very hard dyno method, this was regarded as V12/13, and this new repeat. that uses the original style, has been graded V14 / Font8b+. Although a huge reach and arm span is need to even attempt this new problem.

Besides the inaccuracies, I'll bet they didn't check with Andi_e before reporting exclusive Peckitt send info lol

I first saw red tips on April 1st. Is it an extended April fools by someone?

That joke isn't funny any more.......

[Jaspersharpe]

I doubt it unfortunately Tom. If one was to create a fictitious climbing website with made up idiotic characters, videos and nonsense reported as news I sincerely doubt it would come anywhere near.......

That joke isn't funny any more.......

...too close to home?

Jesus, it's like a world of warcraft forum just without the Chinese gold farmers.

LOL, WTF, SIK!!!

That joke isn't funny any more.......

WTFFF!!! I'll get the hang of this quote thingy soon enough. Crushing it like those 8d+s on my bedroom board. Video may or may not follow. See www.red-ring.com for more hot-off-the-throne news.LOOOLLLLL!!!!!
ps 'pe' is not the beginning of 'paedophile'. It is however the beginning of 'pedant', obviously. And 'pederast' -as all good public schoolboys will confirm.

[mrjonathanr]

Well I've seen it all now. Goddamn - there actually is a website with that name.

[lagerstarfish]

Getting back to the original topic; if laughter is the best medicine, then I am well healed (but unfortunately not well heeled).
