:shock:   That looks Good!  Are all the moves into where the chalk starts easy, or will/could that problem get extended from the very left?

Alex Messenger's photos are the shit.

By the looks of things you would of had to have tried quite hard to take a bad photo on that day

Like the tilted sea  :twisted:

Well done Cooky, guess the training has paid off!

1st class to st. bees please.

St Bees is - as Greg pointed out to me - the sort of place where you could drop your camera on the floor and you would get a perfect image.

To be fair though, Alex's images are always something special - even if the sea is pitching on a slope, check those sumptuous colours, the foreground texture, that classic layout. Awesome.

As for the problem: good effort turning up at a remote crag and pulling off a new line of this standard. Impressive stuff.

Just had an email from John pointing out that the description on my news report was incorrect (sorry) the NEW problem actually goes from a sit start directly below John in the picture. The rail traverse is around V6 I believe.

I have also changed it on LakesBloc, sorry again!

Yep. Tilted sea is not so cool, but hey, that's what photoshop was invented for...heh heh.

Glad you like it anyways. I'll try and dig one out of the Cooke on the actual problem, but he was mainly in the shadows, and well....didn't think he'd do it, so wasn't paying too much attention!

Also, have a pic or two of some local guy in a red cap doing the traverse, so if you are that man...give me a shout!

Can't wait to get back there and drop my camera on the floor again...

Top job, lads. Now THAT looks worth checking the Whitehaven tide tables for!
