Charlies overhang is pure class.  Do it in trainers for extra fun.
Cheers

It has to be said james that doing it in your trainers isnt that impressive since there fuck all use in the first place.....
Ine reply Stuey your in good company, Andy Popp was pulled over the top by Allen Williams during the 80's as he got stuck and couldnt move for fear of falling over backwards

Believe me it is much easier in rock shoes as you have one extra thing to use to pull over the top.  Trainers just flop around.

Clever skin - not that impressed with it


trust me, it'll suck you into its grasp one of these days and you'll become an obsesed fool with very sore fingers!

Looks like the top is pretty scary as its quite high up and very rounded

Jim,

Just saw your original post, and feel I should let you know that Stanage Causeway slabs blow - give 'em a miss. (IMHO of course)

However, I can vouch for the quality of Burbage South edge, particularly on a hotter spring day, cause it gets plenty of shade as well as having some dope climbing (especially aretes)
