sorry to interupt, but here's a clue as to location...

[andy_e]

Only two of the routes on the UKC database have 5-letter names in and I can't make them fit with the clue and my Yorkshire guide is at home...

[Stabbsy]

Misspelling again? Gronff has 2 F's.

[johnx2]

I've done it again.

I was about to post that it's six letters. Spelling dog noises (origin of name) was never a strong point. This time I will retire.

Smite me someone, i'll feel better for it.

Nah.

But you can have a wad for Che-Vin-Butt-Tress.*


[* Or as I had it as a non-climber, Che-Vin-Oryx-Lock]

[SA Chris]

I think it's called a Rebus? Not the Scottish detective

(Just saw karma)

[johnx2]

okay back for more punishment. I thought I might have killed this as Gronff with two f's is too hard to work into a clue. But it can be done... eg Big Ron FFA at the Tor: how pert! (3,4) etc etc

Jerry falls off the prow and makes way for metalworkers (5)

[grumpycrumpy]

A metalworker is a smith, and that's as far as I've got ........

 

[andy_e]

"It's a jug now!"

[Stabbsy]

Could you elaborate further? Haven't got the faintest idea.

[andy_e]

Cresciano?

[Stabbsy]

Bit contrived. I think I get the reference now, but still not clear what the answer is.

- Is it Smith? If it is, shouldn't the clue be worded ".... makes way for metalworker" and I'm still not sure the rest of the clue fits.
- Or is it the name of the problem? - can't remember as I've only seen the film once but I think the possible problems are La Proue, La Pelle, La Boule so letters should be (2,5)
- Or is it none of the above?

[andy_e]

Yes, my bad, should be metalworker. Jerry falls off the prow (La Proue), brushes the crimp, proclaims, "it's a jug now!" Then Malc crushes it.

[grumpycrumpy]

Does this mean that the next clue's mine ? .........

Get setting...

[grumpycrumpy]

Pah, uses the pissed lame smith !........ (10)

[Stabbsy]

Like Hephaestus, the Steel City's sponsor (6)

[aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB]

Hammer and clobber snout - using what was carried by vulcan? [13 ,5]

[Stabbsy]

Good clue, although I'm unsure how I'm weaving that into a new clue.

[aLICErOBERTSfANkLUB]

I would have thought there was plenty of scope with that one?

[Duma]

"Ban thermonuclear bombs!" Cried paid examiners [10]

[Duma]

Since no-one's replied, can I amend this to:
Falling climbers yell "ban thermonuclear bombs!" [10]

[Stabbsy]

Same answer? I get the first one, but my answer doesn't fit the second too well.
