Did a new problem at said crag today that i thought was worth reporting, not sure on the grade as it requires a decent span, but the climbing was really good fun!

The problem sit starts the 'parsnip shaped' (I likened it more to a champagne glass but i was informed that 'Champagne' made it sound too grand, more like Parsnip apparently...)
bookend feature to the left of 'At a gallop' VS5b.

I have a video of it but cant figure out how to put it on here, any ideas?

Cheers,

Tom

Apparantly i'd need to be able to log in to facebook to view the link, which is never going to happen.  Maybe someone will suggest another solution. 
Did you get on Back Street Abortionist whilst you were there?

I'm logged in and can't see it - think you need to adjust the privacy settings tallsop, or rehost elsewhere

oh, shite, i can never work these things out! Does Tim know?

Yeah, BSA was what i went for, 2nd session on it, got the big pinch and the chicken head the slipped off, that left foothold is a right slag!!!! the inside of my left knee is now virtually skinless! Got pissed off in the end with the amount of blood i was giving then binned it. Brilliant problem, gutted to get so close only to blow it!!! Ill be back soon.

Still doesn't work for me, i'll just have to imagine how long a reach it is. 
Forgot to say well done on the new problem anyway. 
Would be into having a blast on BSA sometime when you heal up.

Didn't the chickenhead come off BSA? Or was that something else that snapped?

If only...i'd have gotten myself driven around Bolehill on the bonnet of my car horn a blazin' if i'd done it. 

I thought i'd heard a hold had broken too and that it was more like 7a+.

Well its still there, its just not very good. We were having to go for the pinch on the arete before the chicken head rather than the other way around. Maybe its just crumbled and got worse?

It was probably the chicken's other head. Didn't they teach you anything at school?!
