I don't think strong fingers alone would help enough with this Tim. That's my point, and Iains too with his naming -
If gems like this are to be enjoyed you need to think of climbing as more than just pulling.
I'll certainly be making the long and lonely trip to Millstone to try this having seen the vid, though I concede most won't.  :)

I was going to reply to this but I need to go and take the battery out of the sanctimony alarm cos I can't hear myself think. 
:o

back on topic: video stills look great - looks like quite a piece of (hard) work.

or post up a load more stills, so that they can be combined in an animation.

The bit where you mention the sodding video in the first place.

What's that you say dense, someone has a video of the ascent? Well why don't they just post it then instead of fannying about with screengrabs?

i said he had a video of the ascent so people would believe he'd done it, imagine claiming something and not videoing it.

the vid is for friends n family only. don't think i can't see poor attempts at peer pressure from a mile away. he did mention putting it on if fiend and jasper could be blocked

Friends and Family you say, probably the last time you will see one of his videos then ;)

Could we have an animation using a scale model and plasticine morph(o) character?

Amazing line, amazing climber with an eye for one. Its Inspiring to me to see lines like this going up still. Looks like a good magnum opus to have

Now excuse me i'm off to train for it on my beastmaker by yarding on monos which i've been doing for the last 6 months but it just doesn't seem to have gotten me anywhere on the grit this season, i better add some more weight to my weight belt. I wish i'd known about this project before it was done (for the last YEAR) or any potential new lines because i'd have rushed out to try them knowing they were actively someone elses project, luckily monoing my beastmaker keeps me happy or occasionally one of those steep wooden thingies with holds that face lots of directions, like the one Ian trained on for this.
Ooh a crimpy backhand gaston crux and fingery wall climbing, that'll never get repeated in such a remote location as millstone

no, what happened was i said iain had done a new prob n rocketman had recorded it on his phone. bonjoy said iain doesn't want the vid on the net, which he doesn't strangely enough.
so all in all dense says iains done a new prob, dense has seen vid. no part of this means its being posted on a bouldering site
happy fuckin xmas
