Now you've worked out how to upload to Vimeo can we see Pete's 8a?
We went over to Clwt y Fiaren first and I managed to bag a new 7A:http://www.northwalesbouldering.com/newsitem.asp?nsid=689Then we went over to the School for Gifted block (just beyond Made in Heaven) and Owen climbed an excellent new 7A+ extension to School for Gifted:There's a film of it here:http://www.northwalesbouldering.com/newsitem.asp?nsid=690Saw a few people walking out later on but missed you Luke. Sounds like a bit of ground works is needed after the storms. The landing below School for Gifted has got better. I spent an hour and half building a patio under this last summer to negate a back breaking block, but the storm has just swept everything out of the way, including the annoying block.
I'm sure it was about that close when Maskell somehow snaked through the gap!Sad if it is impossible now, but good news on the lo lo low start by the sound of it
Thats the RH version of HS though? not the actual problem..?EDIT just ready your NW blog.. OK it is the RH problem..

OK it is the RH problem..Yes, sorry for the confusion, I forgot to type RH.Thankfully Higginson Scar is unaffected by the recent boulder shifts, although it did occur to me that maybe the boulder is getting steeper, i.e. being pushed over forwards by the land slump at the back?
I wonder what Cilan is like. Dave L sent me a pic of waves breaking over the headland..
Yes it is.
The Born in Gateshead crack start to Made in Heaven often seeps, but the stand up version can normally be done even if there is some seepage as it is less crucial. It is tidal though, although not that much (I'm sure it would be climbable an hour or two after high tide, especially if you have a towel to dry the footholds on the start). The nearby Thagomizer block is really good and is unaffected by the sea unless there is a massive storm. There is loads to do at Ysgo outside of the tidal zone. And as others have said you could always go to Clwt y Fiaren - there's some brilliant problems there:http://www.northwalesbouldering.com/newsitem.asp?nsid=697(follow the links at the bottom of the news item for more info.)This weekend should be good conditions - plenty of wind and falling temperatures from today's high will mean fast drying rocks and no 'sweating/condensation' issues. It should be mint. Sunday looks like being the best day - I'll probably end up down there somewhere on that day.
