dont know whether its been mentioned but L'Angle Parfait at La Dame Jouanne looks fairly excellent. your style id imagine tom.
L'angle Parfait is clearly one of the best problems in the world.


Are you talking about different problems? Isn't the one in Adam's photo at Cuvier Rempart or has staring at excel spreadsheets all day scrambled my brain?

Who's the climber in this photo?

Dosage innit? Kneepad helpful... or bring the guns:

Tom, there are more if you click the pic above, but I'll upload some more soon. If I was your height, I'd be getting on this:



Ah, that 7b+ at Dame Jouanne. Not tried it - looks good. Though I take some flak from the missus by spending half my life on huggy prows  :-[

Millennium looks incredible and perhaps the r-hand version of Metropolis almost doable by mortals with a team?

Yep, Metropolis looks brilliant and saw a string of ascents on our trip in March including fully-employed Dad Char 'the problem with my climbing is I'm the best climber in London' Williams. So no excuses Tom.

I'll upload some photos, they'll appear in the same gallery as its just a short cut to search results.

I've always disliked the 'my last holiday' type articles which have padded out so many of the mags over the years, so I guess I don't tend to put much stuff forward unless I think its really worthwhile. But there aren't really any other outlets, other than guides, most of which don't pay.

I suspect you are your own worst critic. Have you approached the American Mags, or seen if the new Climb editors are interested in a gallery collection? Both seem to have moved on from the "my last holiday" type articles, and I think your stuff would be a great fit.

And apologies for the hijack tallsop.

l'Angle Parfait is brilliant, stiff for 7B as well!

Control A is also amazing, definitely worth a shot, felt easier than l'Angle Parfait!

Appartenance is good, I think I pulled really hard on some minging filth crimps though.

Master Edge is great but you need a good spot and a few pads, scary crux at the top.

its amazing,
bit a bit spicey, 7b+ for this one, straight up the middle is a little 7c, and we are almost there on the left arete ( the safest of the 3 ) 7c maybe with the crux at the top :) 8meteres
