guessing there isn't a stream?

a dense loner · January 31, 2015, 04:54:23 pm

Yep, just at the side of building. Next to the mini works as opposed to the main event tho

Was i the only person that noticed the stall selling what looks like the future of campus rungs?

Just realised that i could find no info on their rungs, balls etc. on their website. i bought a pair of big balls at the biff after i finished, perhaps i should have bought them before i started, might have helped a bit

the wee campus rungs look like they'll easily replace wood grips as the new standard, what with being smaller and awesomer, on every level

I want some, can't justify them, but still want them.

I think you may have been the only person rodma

what's wrong with the world when I'm the only one fawning over the campus rungs at a footless comp

Yesterday I tried to do some tests, by filling in with some cardboard the lower rungs of the BM.
Unfortunately, it didn't work well, because by doing so I could only grab the steepest part of the edge, in which the radius is steepest.
A big big slice of humble pie for me.
But then I climbed a problem on my board. Using feet. Badly. Still good though.

Will try to make a good rounded 6/7 mm edge later.
I found some tests of a couple of years ago, 78" on a 1 cm, slightly rounded one.
We will see. The Winter is still long.

Nibile · February 06, 2015, 06:42:33 pm

Made the edge.
There's no way I can hang it.
End of story.

Perfect project then!

a dense loner · February 06, 2015, 08:37:51 pm

No rodma I meant I think you were the only person that saw the stall. I've asked a few people who were there and none of them saw it either. We're you seeing what you wanted to see?

Stu Littlefair · February 06, 2015, 08:49:11 pm

I saw the stall. And I'm convinced Nibs has made his edge too small. Never mind, we can have next years BIFF round his place.

a dense loner · February 06, 2015, 09:06:55 pm

I take it ru and barrans saw it as well? Where was it, under the settee? Munchkins with their own stalls, whatever next?

Stu Littlefair · February 06, 2015, 09:24:21 pm

If only I could award wad points on tapatalk. You'll just have to imagine I gave you one.

Sasquatch · February 06, 2015, 09:29:33 pm

Can someone point me to a highlight reel or some such? or is it just the snippits floating through crackbook.

rodma · February 06, 2015, 09:29:41 pm

It was over where the tables are at the left of the comp wall dense.
I like the idea of a borrower sized wall.
Nibs, the ring at the biff was really wide, so it was easy to get a lot of thumb involved.
I've no doubt that yours is harder to hang

It's not out yet. There's a terrible clip of me failing on the thing that finished on the swinging satellite kicking about, but unfortunately that's how I climb

rodma · February 10, 2015, 08:27:05 pm

Yay. I wasn't imagining it

a dense loner · February 10, 2015, 10:34:34 pm

Bizarre! I didn't see that table at all. Have you just spent a week wittling them rodma?

Press the menu, top right. Press "web view". There you go....

Always confuses me when people say they can't wad/punter on their phones.

That's how you do it (though isn't it?).

Doesn't sound like an apology to me?

a dense loner · February 12, 2015, 11:42:09 am

It's not meant to be an apology, I didn't see it nor did many others. The fact that rodma has took pictures from a website and stu has become complicit in the charade only lends me to think that they're about to release a dan brown type climbing book. With a foreword by Dawes

Nibile · February 21, 2015, 10:22:21 am

Is the video of the comp available anywhere?

a dense loner · February 21, 2015, 02:25:38 pm

Are you being serious nibs? Nicks doing it, it'll take longer than one of his time lapses

Nibile · February 21, 2015, 02:36:18 pm

Back on topic, is this a bleedin' bivvy ledge compared to The Hold? Is it anywhere close?
