Cal Coldwell-Storry and Alex Moore did The Young on Saturday, both ground up. Think I'm right in saying these are the first ground up ascents (after all the controversy around Franco last year). Unless Niall McNair did it GU?

Unless Niall McNair did it GU?Good effort doing the full line, but there's no way that buttress would have been any more than surface dry on Saturday. Bad craic climbing at Callaly at the moment, especially on the soft start of the Young, which was trashed back when I was up there. It's one of the slowest to dry crags in the county and this time of year it takes about a week to fully dry out.
"they shouldn't have been climbing on it in those conditions", "it's not even hard or serious anyway", "it's just a crappy boulder problem"Have I got lost and ended up on UKC?

I think it's important to call out climbing on wet county sandstone. Whether this is McClure at spittal or these guys. I don't think we should be treating people differently just cause they're really strong. There's a long history of people not wanting to mention bad ethics, just because there are wads involved. Go have an ab down if 6 was 9!

I think if there’s one thing we don’t need Franco’s option on, it’s going ground up on The Young.

Hi All, Yeah, it was dry, happy days. I think if there’s one thing we don’t need Franco’s option on, it’s going ground up on The Young. Thanks anyway though! (Sorry, put this on the other thread, like a tit)
