lots of amusing names, havent decided yet :-[

Good job Neil, (did you do the last clip?) Hope PR sticks with it and gets it done too - although with Caffs current form he will have to be quick to get the 2nd ascent. All very exciting.



did try the energy saving tactic of missing the last clip but i think pete might have been trying to put me off with a 'bit 'o loose'. was too scared after that.

Come on Ding dong, you decided on a name yet. The two week window is almost up, if you don't decide soon, it will go to a UKB vote and end up being called Clam au Chocolat or something.

He's gone with Megalopa (which is the final larval stage found in decapod crustaceans). I like it

Surprised UKC haven't reported an amazing new 8c+ on one of Britains premier sport crags.  Especially as they fall over themselves to report the 15th,16th,17th etc.. ascents of 18 year old Yorkshire 8cs!

Especially as it's on DMM website, so they don't have to quote UKB as a source.

its interesting to see how little interest sports ascents seem to receive over there, for instance the big bang news item only mustered 23 replies. From such a huge community that's a pretty small reply for such a significant repeat.

I don't think you should be making accusations like that about Dave. I'm a 55 year old Scottish punter who has never met him and am never likely to but I am certain that he will be extremely offended by your defamatory comments. What are you anyway some sort of keyboard warrior? I bet you don't even climb on anything other than grit and think your 30ft boulder problems are worth E grades. I hate you all.

How you expect to climb HVS when you cant even grasp the use of an apostrophe is beyond me.

Can anyone recommend a useful 4th set of wires for gritstone?  I already have Wild Country 1-14, DMM 1-11 and A second set of DMM 1-11.  I'm hoping to climb 20 foot crack and want to keep my placement options open.
