No, that lies in a 'mysterious' inland location, or so I have been lead to believe...

Seemed more like 7c+ than 'soft' 7c to me. Maybe i missed the crucial beta, i couldn't see how to get to that crimp on the left that Joe's got in the pic. Certainly seemed harder than Nazguls

[Pantontino]

I think Joe's 'grade calibration' is a little out - in recent times he has suggested various outrageous downgrades. I reckon he just got stronger but hadn't noticed/or believed it had happened.

Anyway, the link into Nazgul's has got to be the next one to go for - a classic 7C+ presumably?

It'd be pretty tough getting to the jug!

This really is the last of them - once this batch is gone that will be it!

Shame that, you'd think someone would write a new guide eh Simon?

Now there's an idea...

The Mule got his greasy mitts on my copy the other week during a pissup and 'amended' the history section. I never realised so many Welsh activists were into S&M and sex props. I might have to purchase an original copy for my annals although I just don't know whose account to believe any more!

What?  You think Simon really wants a copy of his book being put to that kind of sick, perverted use?

[Monolith]

Set pieces are too easy these days aren't they champ 

[Pantontino]

Back in the late 80s one of my mates used to sport a distinctive black curly hair and moustache look and one of our mutual friends took it upon himself to draw a cartoon version of said black curly hair + tach onto the head of every climber in his copy of the old Stoney Middleton guide.

Genius!

I suggest everyone tries something similar with a modern guide - assuming you've got a mate with a distinctive enough hair cut or prominent physical feature.

[Monolith]

I should probably send you a transcript of said history edit Simon. I imagine it'd raise a laugh or two! Only one last copy left on ebay too! An honour for somebody!
