[Dumby] [Pressure/Firestarter link] [8b]
April 20, 2010, 08:24:51 pm
The Grand Tour wasn't enough so he went and polished off one of his other projects.

The start of Pressure into Firestarter, he's been trying this for some time and reckons hard 8b.

I got a video of this so as soon as he's decided on a name I'll get it posted.

What an afternoon!  :great:

You could tell Malc was going well on Sunday. He did Dr Crimp, stripped it, then realised he'd lowered off the wrong belay, put the clips in and did it again 10 minutes or so later  :o. Monster.

He's a wee bit psyched at the moment.

He's called the new problem Firefight, another Dumby 8b!

I'm more impressed by that fella in the grey jacket's 'standing around nonchalantly' skills....

He really gives it everything....a fine performance....

Ruins it at the end with all that 'arm-raising' palaver though.

Sweet.  Its good to see that Malcolm pulling and locking as well as ever.  Inspiring stuff - must get more focused!

As for the 'arm waving' palaver - I'm sure we all do something.  I usually grab my knob with one hand and wave my other in the air.

I think its nice to see about time Malc climbed something and looked like he had to put a bit of effort in. Beast

About time he pulled his finger out and climbed something difficult for him instead of punting about on these 8Bs.

Great stuff.
