thread hijack... sorry. But what the FUCK is Bonnie Prince Billy doing climbing trad cracks?



Thought it was a young John Peel myself...  ;)

Does Ben not know it's too hot for this sort of thing?

That's not Stampede. Toby Benham did that as a new route, and I think he called it Simba's Pride. Involves a dynamic last move to latch the top (as you can see!). Top effort!

Yeah it's Simba's. Absolutely amazing line, very steep, very sharp, looks super committing. Bon effort.

Sorry, just took the name from the hot aches site. They've changed it now. It does look amazing.

From what I remember, I don't think Toby told me it was E9. I'm trying to remember what he wrote on this piece of paper on the wall. It's definitely way more commiting and serious than Stampede, so perhaps an E8/9 is warranted? If I find the piece of paper I'll update this post.

Here it is - http://www.rockfax.com/databases/r.php?i=22564

Sounds like the climbing is easier but the route is much more serious.

Spitzkoppe in Namibia, I'm amazed lads.  One more for the dream world trip.  Doesn't look like you need a big rack.

I think the Severe up that has one bolt between belays on a 50m pitch. There are some trad routes too, I think the original route to the summit is about E2 with some man eating chimneys. Don't go in (Southern Hemisphere) summer though.

Taipan is the best crag in the world bar none, jesus its even better than the tor.
I think the bottom one might be snake flake and the one above the invisible fist of proffesaor hidditch smidditch. incredible place. your desert island crag.
