Excellent write ups imo, love hearing about the specificity of the holds and movement

Big fan of Aidan and enjoyed this write up.

How long before "3D scanning the holds to CNC replicas at home becomes a new "kneepad assisted downgrades" sort of armchair outrage? I love it.

Looking forward to encountering the Burden replica in a damp five an half foot cellar on Vincent Road.

Well written article. Let's see what Aidan can achieve now he's decided to stop aimlessly pathing 8C's and train hard instead  :o

Anyone know the app? The satellite boulder at Chevin is probably as hard to find in condition as getting to Finland!

The technology is probably "structure from motion photogrammetry". Not sure app wise but there are a few options in general on the software front.

As a slight aside, Aidan mentions something that sounds like a write up of nalle discussing the sisu project. Anyone come across this or got a link?

Good start.

I saw someone/some people had been cleaning up in Brione, crazy number of >7Cs, and assumed it was them. At least 14 logged in the last two days! Should be a fruitful trip  :strongbench:

Assuming all of those hidden ascents are those two, the sheer volume in two days is mind boggling!

Does Aidan have a ukc logbook or did Jim flash VL too?

I think Aidan mentioned a couple of months in an IG post.

Have a look at the latest top ascents on UKC. Basically anything 8A and up in Swiss from a hidden logbook is likely one or other of them. E.g. someone did Heritage 8B+ yesterday.
