Chip Shop Brawl platform in good nick on Saturday. Added a bit of snow, and given the size of it I'm sure it will stick around for a few days yet.

Added a bit of snow, and given the size of it I'm sure it will stick around for a few days yet.Hmm - not so sure.Sunday was positively equatorial and it was the air temp that was high - not just in the sun. Burbage last night was pretty devoid of any snow and the one or two clumps still about were almost visibly melting. My companion had been at burbage on saturday and reckoned it had gone down about 5 foot or more since saturday.
Fantastic ending, beautifully captured. What's the last track?
Hi Chris sorry to be a nuisance. Can you enable youtube for mobile viewing.ThanksAdge
Great video, I also watced it through without going anywhere near the FF button.A quick question for the snowballing massive. I don't want to sound like a twat (although I think I probably will) but I remember a while back reading a piece JB had written about how he once headpointed a route (Piece of Mind??) and how it was a hollow experience for him and in retrospect he wished he hadn't done it and had instead waited to be able to onsight it. I can see that snowballing is different to that but I was wondering if there was any of the same sense? As obviously an element of the challenge of these routes has been diminished to some extent (a point acknowledged at the end of the film). Just to be clear I ask this question not in a sneery or critical way, just out of interest.I have been in a similar situation to JB where I have regretted headpointing routes, but equally I have been very glad to have headpointed some routes. So now the snows gone do any of you retrospectively wish you'd saved one or two of the routes for a "proper" ascent?NOTE: This isn't the fore-runner to some long ethical and stylistic debate (or at least I hope it isn't) just idle curiosity.
