New Malham 8c+!!!
August 10, 2009, 10:47:39 am
Ste Mac completed his latest project at the Cove yesterday. This monster starts up Bat Route and breaks left across Rainshadow and joins Overshadow at the end and finishes up this- the mother of all link ups! No name yet. Pretty impressive climbing a route like Hubble then a route like this in the same week. Word on the street is that the climbing is fantastic on this latest offering. Whata guy!

Another monster link up today at the Tor.
Weedkiller traverse, into kristians bolted extension of the traverse (don't know what it's called, f8b i'm told),
into Mecca, into Mecca Extension.

Awesome.

Wowsers.

The 8b grade must be for Weedkiller trav + Kristian’s trav. Isn’t Kristians trav, which starts as per Chimes, 8a on it’s own?
The real question though is what grade for the super link?

The traverse you talk of started as for weedkiller and finished by down climbing mecca starting slab (high level) at maybe 8a+.
I suspect steve bat hanged the revitalized block.

I don't know how you had the gall, Kristian.  Zippy must be absolutely devastated.
