I was about to post "Will you spot him up the drain-pipe after he's finished?" but slackers beat me to it more literally.

I heard it was all just 30 move eliminate link ups and bum dynos. Maybe it was the same guy that was talking to you?

No, bouldering project bellends. Great line, shocking landing, needs filling in with a good few boulders.

We need to start giving all the linkups route grades and stop people taking big grades without doing any proper hard moves

That's better!

 :lol:



Don't worry, if I ever put any time into the cave, I'll the biggest grades I can get...

Then everything would be alright...wouldn't it.

Wouldn't it?

If Pete Robins gives something a slash grade it's never the lower option.

They were both falling off it when I arrived so any talk of lowly 7Bs went right out the window.

It's about 7B/+ to get to there, but what lies above is hard, very hard!
