Great stuff Tom, thanks for writing up!

James Squire and Hamish Potokar both repeated Mikeys Pe'ahi 8A+ at Bonehill yesterday (2nd and 3rd ascents I think?). Nice to see a proper up problem on this wall get some attention rather than all the sideways links.

Yes was impressive to see James absolutely piss his way up it from the floor having redone the top 'just to make sure'

Well it's out and looks pretty cool. I'll be getting a copy pretty sharpish.

Northumberland?

At least I wouldn't have to fly. Just saying.

Dartmoor guide is really good. I was going to post my (free) copy down to a mate who lives in Exmouth,  as I am unlikely to use it much, but might hang on to it a while and read it some more....

I would be up for Northumberland. Or maybe the North Lakes (Carrock, Bowderstone, Gillercombe)?

[Richie Crouch]

2nd vote for the lakes here! 

[BrutusTheBear]

Alright , alright let's call this house to order
Stop thy muddying of the SW thread with talk of Northumberland and the Lakes.

Cailean did Pe'ahi the other day. Most popular hard problem in the SW suddenly.

Got my copy of the new Dartmoor guide and it is just brilliant. Few places in there that have sketchy info which now don't e.g. Lustleigh Cleave and having all the topos, maps etc for the woods in a guide is perfect. I often visit the same places down there but now will not be.

Lovely quirky write ups, funny bits, FA info, good history section - just what a good guide should be!

I'm sure the landscape format is great for at the crag, but its not ideal for bedtime reading!

Or the bog, my prime guide reading time!!

On the subject of the new guide can anyone confirm whether or not Toltec Twostep and TT direct are the wrong way round? I don't have the old guide to compare. I'm not nit picking just interested where the routes go...

[Duma]

Yes they are (the wrong way round)

[shurt]

Yes they are (the wrong way round)

Oh good I'm not going mad. I remember you did it a while back - nice one again!

Managed to re-climb Supercede at Hartland today. I hadn't climbed it before so I don't know how it compares grade wise but it felt harder than The Revolution is Coming and The End is Nigh so maybe 8A+? I still think the crux is the move to the rail which is the same as before it broke. A brilliant climb whatever; great rock quality (except the top) and interesting moves.

I came up with a couple of possible methods/ideas that I thought would work for the top but ended up using the crimp that was previously used as the intermediate for the left hand to bump my right hand to an undercut below the crimp rail. From here I built my feet and went left hand to the top.

Brilliant, nice one! Glad it still goes.

Thanks. It's such a fun set of moves and the rock is incredible, especially that sloper!

Jonny Kydd did the RH sit (ie from Arch angels start) to Godzilla at biblins this morning -  8B, though harder (and better) than the lh low start he did last year.
