Nothing Lasts, E10 7a, Sandy Crag
April 10, 2017, 12:18:39 pm
Franco has established another E10 on the Moors, this time a long standing project at Sandy Crag.
Good write up on UKC. Looks mental.

I believe Andy F's people are tearing their hair out trying to come up with a statement  :P

Not on the moors, and E11 isn't it? https://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=447078

That's the problem with giving something a H grade, it's an absolutely meaningless statement.

Good looking route.

He gives headpointing (H) grades and on sight grades, so I think the UKC logbook gives E11 and since he headpointed it he says H10.
Each to their own I suppose :)

Oops!

I shouldn't worry too much about the grade. If Dan Varian has been shunting it then a repeat may not be far away.

Why? I couldn't give a flying fuck about Franco's exploits. I stand by everything I have previously said and have nothing more to add.

Not quite sure what you're saying there, Andy. Could you be a bit less cryptic?

Andy's despatched a team of Pex regulars to TWOK some wheels like for the Bank Holiday and head over downgrade it to Mild HXS, like.
