Tom - I noticed you've mentioned this in your PC entries recently. How have you been getting on / have you sussed some beta out? I've been meaning to get down and give this a go after work some time (maybe tomorrow).
Also for parking - are you dropping down onto the sector from above (parking at the T-junction closer to Anston) or doing the normal lay-by parking? I seem to remember there being a really fast approach but it would have been 4-5 years ago when I went and it's gone out of my mind!
Hi James - yeah been working this (though Nazgul LH has taken up most of my time and frustratingly not gone yet...
On Frodo I/we (dolly and Nai) worked out you could crimp with LH and drop a right knee from the really good foothold and I’m tall enough to swivel round and reach up to get the high roof slot - just - some of the time. :D The fun’s not all over then - as you have to pinch the top slot and then bring LH over to a fairly crap undercut (whereI’m stuck) before going again with the right to the lip and glory etc...
For parking during the daytime the lay-by by the T junction is pretty heavily used by people going to the cemetery (and the odd funeral) so I’ve parked further down that road on the first left where you get to houses. Its a wee bit of a schlep up the road but quicker than walking along from the other parking through the woods. In the evening I’ve parked by the cemetery (a couple of times) as I’m just one car and I figure I won’t be disrupting a funeral that time of day...
Worth noting that Dolly was pulled up (well asked a few questions) by someone by the cemetery a few weeks back who said that climbing wasn’t allowed - but kind of tolerated etc.. whatever the rights or wrongs of that persons statements its probably best to be discrete with parking etc..
Otherwise its all bone dry at the moment - though on Tuesday I had to dismantle a stick/log lean to against the buttress that some kids had built over the weekend...
