Theres a similar thing to this going on CT, but lets have a hardcore bouldering version - If you had to pick your top 10 problems you hope to tick in 2003, what would they be??

I'll start the ball rolling:
  • That big dyno, Roaches
  • Horror Arete, Kebs
  • Submergence, Burbage
  • Incredible Shaking Man (SS), Porth Ysgo
  • Aerodynamite, Cuvier
  • T-crack, Cratcliffe
  • Spring Voyage, Stanage
  • That dyno R of NTBTA, Stanage
  • The Storm, Stanage
  • The Geek(?), Caseg boulder

In no particular order:

  • Green Traverse - done it before, but when I was a young un'
  • Jerry's Arete (Cratcliffe)
  • Boba Fett
  • NBTA - always been too wussy to top out
  • West Side Story (ha ha ha, hee hee hee haw)
  • Brad's Arete sit-start
  • Rollin' Pat
  • Trick Arete (Earl) should have done it ages ago - mental block!
  • The low traverse on the Clifftop Boulder
  • Buckstone Dyno

Hmmm... half of those would be good...

That whole list is much too Peak / Grit oriented so maybe some of the ten should read

  • Go to Wales more
  • and to Lakes (esp FairySteps, etc)
  • Northumberland as well
  • not forgetting Dartmoor / Devon coast
  • and of course Scotland if it stops raining
  • maybe even Ireland if the flights are cheap enough...

Good day, but weren't it cold?! Did the slab on the left hand side of the Boba slab, finishing direct and not using the edge of the boulder, which was the problem I wanted to do. Not v8 though, I didn't think - V6? Hard to grade slabs I think.

Tried Boba - well, I managed to get onto it, but then couldn't really move as I had a leg too high. Desperate but well keen to have another go soon.

I want to do a really hard offwidth boulder problem, I've got a taste for it now. Maybe that one at Wharncliffe (never seen it thought). More conventionally:

1) Art of Self Destruction, Woodwell.
2) Cloning Technology, Woodwell.
3) No Mercy, Eagle Tor.
4) Transgenic, Hyning Crag.
5) Shallow Groove, Trowbarrow.
6) Atomic Garden, Heysham Head.
7) Un-named, Fairy Steps (R of Walk Away).
8) Something in Yorkshire.
9) Something in Northumberland.
10) Something in Wales.

There's loads of others but I thought I'd clean up my local area first (!!), and I haven't included any problems I haven't tried, otherwise I would say all of them...
