New Problem at Burbage West
January 28, 2004, 01:11:22 pm
John Welford has climbed the line between West End Girls and the hanging V6 arete (Breakfast arete i think), at around the 7c/V9 mark. The problem involves a big move off an undercut, with bugger-all in the way of footholds, to gain a ripple and thence a big jug, where the prob ends. The direct finish looks hard and scary.

I propose he names it one of the following:

Westsiderz
Westwood
Westfast (pun on breakfast)
Westfield (sheff based health insurance...)
etc etc.

My favourite is Westwood baby!

I think he should name it Westlife in honour of the fantastically talented band who everyone loves.

Please don't tell me there already is a Westlife :?

Err don't really understand where this is. You mean the V6 left of Famous Grouse? Is it further left? Which is West end girls?

No it's further left again from the HVS thing which is called West End Girls in the Peak Bouldering Guide.
