yo yo yo apparently yesterday Sam whittaker did the project right of appointment with fear, "Appointment With Death" E9 6c. Good effort.

[dobbin]

He has got big cajones that lad!

[Bubba]

Where does it go? Is it like straight up the wall from halfway along the traverse out to the arete or something?

[dave]

yeah it like straight up from a move or 2 on the traverse. smears and pebbles, easing before the top by the look of it.

[Bubba]

Presumable no bolt heads either? Tasty.

[dave]

i hope he pulls the finger out and does some of the other sup-projects up theres. theres at least 2 monster lines at E10+

[dave]

it also appears the pete hurley has done new statesman (4th ascent).

[dave]

also also appears that the one like jonny dawes has done the wall left of linden - Drummond Bass E8 6c.

[Bubba]

Class route-name from the Dawes!

[dobbin]

Drummond Bass! HA AHAHHAHAHAH I like it.

[james]

It is just the direct start to linden not the mega line to the left.  Still very scary.  He soloed it.
Cheers

Top effort. This has to be the shortest person to do it! Full on E9 for someone Jordans height

[james]

How short is jordan? Got me all psyked

5'8ish... Go to it

[james]

Will do.  Though have to get a new car first, my 50 quid monster is not feeling quite how a car should :shock: .  Thinking of getting a seat ibiza like one of these

What do you think or should I get a different car?  Something that does good mpg and handels well. not bothered about excessive speed after my last experience.

Good cars, cant go far wrong with them. Nippy and handle well

Be careful on them bends mind!

[Bubba]

SamT has got a diesel one and it's served him well - handle pretty nicely too, though he has spun it down the road a few times  :shock:

[dave]

Top effort. This has to be the shortest person to do it! Full on E9 for someone Jordans height

also its probably the first helmeted ascent!

we're still playing with the video, might appear soon if we're lucky.

[squeek]

Fine effort Mr buys!

[Bubba]

Just watched the vid (20mb version) - great ascent, very smooth.

Vid's a bit overcompressed mind - get Sorenson on the case...

[dave]

yeah kims working on it hopefully. we can do better than that both on size and kwality!

[james]

Dave, what is this about the 6th ascent on UKC
Cheers
