"rap bolting" controversy/nonsense in the 80s.

I can just see Flavor Flav hanging on a rope dilling bolts whilst getting tirades of abuse from the sugar hill gang.

Why would he be seasoning bolts, booooooooooyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?

[dave]

dill's a herb not seasoning, fool.

What grade does this Arch Enemies get and where is it??

It's French 7c and at Reynard's Cave in Dovedale. Some terrible pictures here:

cheers andy, that looks a pretty interesting. Pretty special area down that way!

Readza came down at the weekend and took some better pictures, for those of you who still haven't ventured down this way it's worth a look for something different from your average Peak limestone:

Blimey, that looks rather cool, if I was still fit enough to be considering F7c projects I;d be considering that...

[nik at work]

It does look cool, on the list of possibles for my next venture South.

Bloody hell, Andi.  Looking at that second shot, I think there is a large owl living in your back...

You should, it's very good. I think it's 7c+ to be honest, but then I'm not the best person to say. The top crux is pretty tricky, especially after the lower wall.

The re-bolting job is fantastic and has completely revitalised the route.

Andy, did you get the flash/redpoint?? Not heard of anyone else getting on it since Jon Clark rebolted it.
Yes,its clearly harder than 7c and hope it gets the attention it deserves!

I had a go in July? with Rob Barker but the top was wet  - well that's our excuse for failing - and its hard.

Redpointed it tonight, very pleased.

Couple from last night.





Dunno about 7c+, I didn't do it but it sure felt easier than Body Machine or Lightweight.

Nice pics, that flash worked well on Shaz, pretty cool looking that, very atmospheric.

Maybe, maybe not, needs more ascents to tell.

I think it's harder than Body Machine

Looks fab  . Will add it to the Peak hitlist.

If anyone's interested Arch Enemies is dry at the moment.  I have also added a new route to the left. A really nice 7a, its a great warm up for Arch Enemies! Get on it.
