[Little Hopo]

Does anybody know who the youngest person to have climbed Rockatrocity (v9) in Parisella`s cave is and what their age is?

Thanks 

[slackline]

2 years old 

[Jim]

why?

[slackline]

why?

My guess would be that Little Hopo is young and has either climbed Rockatrocity or has aspirations to.

[benpritch]

i was 10 and a half when i did it.

[Richie Crouch]

Don't worry Hoppo, you'll get it done before the old vagrant Mills at least 

[BenF]

Listen young Hopo, Crouch did the youngest ascent, or at least the youngest acting ascent (he was acting like a 6 year old at the time) and you act like you're older than me so you're not claiming it.

[saltbeef]

why?

who cares?

[c.j.d.]

I was very young.  I actually used velcro shoes (which, may I add, I had to get my mum to make me as they were'nt invented yet), as I was to young to tie my shoe laces without help.  Also, the holds had'nt been drilled yet...

[meatball]

little hopo has only just turned 14 (i think). more of general question i believe...

[c.j.d.]

Joking aside young hobo, maybe Danny Cattel would be an educated guess (15?).

[andy_e]

Little hoppo can't even reach the starting holds can he?

with stacked pads... maybe

Pipe down everyone just give me a straight answer and it wherent me asking it was my brother. Oh yer and you are all very funny   
So it was Danny Cattell

Chill Hopo! We're old farts on here and take a while to adjust to the psyche of the younger climber! Stick with what you're doing and I reckon RA is on before your 15. I for one will be most psyched to see this happen. Get your head down and don't let the bastards grind ya down!

  You're going to get such a smack down sometime, mark my words.  What makes you think you'll get a straight answer from any of us?  Surely you've learnt that much.  Do you ever get a straight answer from us?

[Doylo]

Can't remember if Danny was 14 or 15

[BenF]

Come on then Hopo, get it done.  You're more than strong/good enough.

[Jaspersharpe]

I think I did it when it was about the only thing in the cave but I can't remember how old I was (<16) and wasn't ever sure if what I'd done was the right thing as per the shit description I was working from. Plus, as this was 20 years ago, it's probably completely different now anyway. Hope that helps.
 

Tyler must've done it??

[Doylo]

Ty was 16+

[Jaspersharpe]

Punter.

[Doylo]

he didn't flash it either

What about Shawna whatshername? She dispatched it in about half an hour (not half an hour from birth, but from first feeling the holds).

[dave]

She dispatched it in about half an hour

Wasn't there a queue forming? I hate those slow climbers but you've got to admire their stamina.

[Houdini]

Nothing impressive about young bucks climbing 7C;


more interested to hear if an over 50 has done this?

[Monolith]

I remember meeting a man called Paul (Craven? not sure) in there a few years back who mopped it up in an afternoon. He wasn't over 50 but no little hopo. Never seen anyone attempt such a problem with so much stamina to work the thing out his way.

Shauna's sixteen.

[fatneck]

Little Hopo going to have to pull his finger out as Little Hopo Senior's just done the deed! Good effort Sean, get on it Mike!

[Richie Crouch]

Yeah but what have they ever done at Kinder Downfall! 

[Monolith]

Or West Derby Cuttings. Which reminds me actually..

Nice work young Sean.

Did he have a ridiculous 80's buffond hair-do?

Paul Craven is a rep for Ben (moon) these days. Thoroughly nice chap, although the last time I saw him he had terrible coffee breath!

Yeah Met Paul a few weeks back at Almscliff, very friendly chap! Keen surfer now I think too.....

[dobbin]

Who isnt! its where the legends go to die (the sea)

[andy popp]

Hardly surprising if it was Paul, he has always been the complete wad.

[Doylo]

Pauls defo done it, must be in his 40's

Diamond geezer. Wish I had such session fitness.
