To be fair those big, loose looking blocks are probably enough to put most people off. :o

tsk tsk tsk bluebrad. tsk tsk tsk

In my defence it was the lack of monsoon like rain that fooled me - it's plain to even the blindest person that it is Cambusbarron if you imagine persistent drizzle falling from the sky...  ;)

Well done Stuey. The one at Tung Lung thingy with the crux at the top of a sheer wall?

that's the fella. and the first thing i did after sending was drag out the Hilti and bolt a probable F8a/8a+ through the steep wall underneath it. No rest for the wicked...

Good effort Stu. Missed this earlier in the thread.

RESERVOIR DOGS E8 7A
Reservoir Dogs situated on Purgatory Buttress at Widdop (Yorkshire) is one of the finest lines on grit. As I live just 20 minutes drive away it's a line I've often admired and wanted to film for years. It was first climbed in 1995 by Robin Barker. As far as we can work out (please do get in touch if you know of more ascents) its had three further ascents; Paul Dudgeon, John Dunne and then Nick Clement. Since Nick's ascent the route has seen plenty of attention and a crucial pebble was broken off but the line remained unclimbed with the broken pebble, until now. Well done Gaz and Jordan!

I did a bit but I was very young and (in comparison to now) fearless.  ;)

Those Reservoir Dogs pics are awesome.

Its in the Grampians, place called muline. Route is called Eye Of The Tiger. Gets 29/8a in guide, but its 30/8a+. One of the most amazing 1 pitch sports routes in the world.

You want to try climbing it Bubba. You climb down at one point, feet first!

Do you normally down-climb hands-first then?
