Birth simulator...if your mum's got a really angular, gritty minge....

[SA Chris]

Do you remember free Hueco and the problem ‘birth simulator’.

Bishop too.

Rich Heap came out today to repeat Yosemite Whites 

..and to take some photos.

Crap day, but he did the best he could.







Start feet first, then switch:




Obviously this is the best shot 









More problems coming along very soon.

Thanks Rich. That was a grand day out. Thanks Ben P for your old boots.

Birth simulator...if your mum's got a really angular, gritty minge....

I’ll ask next time I’m in the area 😂

[Fiend]

Fucking guns on that! If I keep wearing vests, maybe it will happen.....

[tomtom]

Now if this problem were in a quarry in lancashire instead of a quarried edge in Derbyshire I suspect it would be getting a bit more stick.....

Just sayin...

Yours are already Fiendishly large
!

 

[Fiend]

In the gut!

TT, r-man doesn't wear vests like that, crucial difference between lancashire grotholes and the mighty Plantation Quarry lowballs.

Quality addition Dave! I nipped up to stanage for a quick repeat this evening. It's fun in reverse too and about the same grade.

I was going to nip up to Stanage for a quick repeat this evening, but was concerned it was a bit too highball so did my own warm-up version:



'Gritty Minge', about 5A+ , Bamford.

Appropriately placed sheep tods?

Back around Fiend, obvious dab.

Remus, that's fantastic! 

Great fun isn't it.

Have a p(o)int

Did the RH finish to Yosemite Whites at Stanage Plantation tonight.

Freeloader

 

I reckon it's ace. 7B maybe.

Felt a bit more arduous than that tonight, but seems a reasonable guess at the grade.

Start as for YW.
Slap up R to slopers, from finger locks at the start of the leftwards crack on Yosemite Whites.
When you've got the flake on the arete, rock rightwards, and up the arete. 









Thanks to Dan Cooper for taking the photos.

Thanks to "Arch Nemesis Dave" for better beta.

The slab to the R is also an excellent easy problem.

Nursery Slab 5?

The Plantation is an outdated crag, with nothing left to be done.

Looked at the rh finish on sunday haha, i thought it wad only the full traverse that was to  be left alone!

Yosemite whites is really really good, thanks!

[DAVETHOMAS90]

I thought someone had!

I was getting a bit paranoid that someone would nick it first. I think it's a great problem. Go get it done!

Thank you very much indeed for your kind words about YW 

Lovely to have something to share.

PS. It can be heartbreaking to lose a project, but of course, they don't belong to anyone. It would be wrong of me to suggest anything is not to be done, but yes, time to start on the LW link. Warm now unfortunately.

[DAVETHOMAS90]

Climbed a variation on the other two problems at the Plantation above.

This climbs an easier finish to Freeloader, but traversing in from the left.

Dimple Wall 7A (maybe 7A+)

Sit start on the boulder down and to the left of the exit of Yosemite Whites.

Pull on at the small flakes, and up R via pocket to the exit crack on YW. From the left hand locks make a long move R - coming in higher than Freeloader, to finish up the right arete/slab.

NB. This is easier then the finish on Freeloader - that problem gains the right arete from the lowest set of locks, where you exit the roof crack.

Wasn't sure about giving it a name, but I found a load of old miniatures in a skip later, and a glass of Dimple whisky seemed worthy celebration

[DAVETHOMAS90]

That's a crap name.

Worthwhile problem though.
