Looks like it was awesome out there. I see on FB that Dobbin did Walk on by 

What did everyone else get done?

[andy_e]

I had Breakfast but couldn't handle the Famous Grouse right after.

[tomtom]

Lagers and myself flashed a few tough 4's and spent some time trying to do the nose with the no technique technique.

Snatched SEALS as the last send of the day... Closest 7A to the car on Peak Grit??

I sat in my office looking longingly out the window

I went for a lantern session at Almscliff and couldn't figure out a decent sequence for Underhand Extension. Couldn't get access to any beta videos except for Ben Freeman's tricky undercut method which didn't suit.

I did do Stu's Roof stand start, which is a contender for the most horrible, pointless couple of moves in Yorkshire.

Full of seasonal good feelings?

I like the stand to Stu's. I can't do it bit like it...

I kept failing on the arete at Higger, no matter how many times I watch Lagers video it never gets easier

key for me is to either be climbing well, or resort to a slight twisting to the left of the right leg/foot/knee as I imagine myself corkscrewing upwards

from 1:15 onwards

Having studied at Dojo Lagerstarfish for a few years and being tutored by Obi Wan Lagers a few times I've tried the twisty right foot method and found I do a variant - looking at the vid below (from 1:10 onwards) I start the move with my right hip already twisted into the Rock. It's a great knacky problem. Once it clicks it feels straightforward (ish).

I maintain the whole high right foot thing on this problem is a complete red herring. Left foot high on the upper arete and go.

Yes but you're better than me

Having watched Lagers video properly I'm heartened he didnt top it out properly either

[dave]

No but I've always done it that way even back when I was shit.

When I've been in a crowd trying it, the ones who insist on putting right foot on high are almost always the ones who don't end up doing it.

[Mr_Cus]

I'm a right foot twister


Seems a pretty reliable method.


As for yesterday - How do you do deliverance?!! I'm on the good right foot hold and left smeary edge but feel like my legs are to far apart or my feet at the wrong angles to get any height in my jump.  I'm usually alright at dynos .

Don't insult BFree like that, that would be Jon! 

[lagerstarfish]

Having watched Lagers video properly I'm heartened he didnt top it out properly either

because I was fooked from failing so hard

anyway...

[Fultonius]

One of these days I'll make it to the peak, maybe then I can have a video of The Arete too. I feel left out.

Beat me to it.  Although I haven't seen video evidence of you topping out the arete LH. It looked desperate and scary so I adhered to the tomtom school of topping out

Drop your left hand then windmill it up to generate momentum.

[lagerstarfish]

what 205Chris  - and bend your knees so that your legs have some push in them - I put more weight over the left leg

(or learn to do it with the high right foot)

[Dolly]

I sat in my office looking longingly out the window 

What's this SEALS thing Tom ?
Not clever enough to work out the acronym

[lagerstarfish]

it's the latest trendy thing to be seen on, Dolly

everyone's talking about it

short easy arete, low start

[tomtom]

I fail to see how anyone could ascend it more stylishly than those two...

I couldn't..

[lagerstarfish]

we even filmed some of it with an iPhone for fashion value

[Dolly]

Well done lads
Bit highball for me though

[36chambers]

I went to scope out Scout Hut Crag near Widdop. Really good little crag with some awesome looking highballs, which also got the glorious sun all day. Unfortunately, I was too much of a wuss to do the highballs on my bill, so instead I just got shutdown by some 6s. Excellent day regardless.
