Thanks Shark. Can’t be too long before Malham season resumes, where do you think you’re at in comparison to previous years?
First 7C! Amazed to get it done so quickly.
Sat. Caley. Got up ron's reach, which I really enjoyed, despite getting a bit scared, and bens groove, which I hadn't tried before. Shut down by juju club, got one hand on the top and couldnt do anything. Might have just been out of beans? Loads of other new problems too up to 6C.
I think we must have crossed paths on Saturday....
QuoteI think we must have crossed paths on Saturday....I missed the fall, but did get a glimpse of the various holes it made in you! Which bit did you drop to manage that? I hope you aren't too bruised and battered today!
Like the "Red Baron smear slip" and "Crusis foot lock", I think it's one of a few nasty falls you can take off Yorkshire classics!
I was party to a similar tumble off Ben's Groove which put me off it - mate managed an almost perfect backwards somersault over my (spotting) head, and into those same boulders that mashed you up Moose.

WedsBurbage North, spent slightly too long burning skin on a couple of 7s to the right of The Terrace, then gave that a good go. Went alright, first move far and away the hardest for me. Managed I think every other move on its own, so think I should be able to have a good go at it next session, linking bits together even if I don't get the first move.If anyone's got any sneaky foot beta to start that would be helpful!
Doing Ron's Reach is one of the scariest times I've had bouldering. At the end of an evening session I decided to have a feel of the start holds, just to see if it was worth a revisit when in condition. Next thing I know, I'm in the groove, my pads are still folded under the start and miles away, it's almost dark, and the crag is deserted. The groove above was filthy and damp and I spent a while deciding whether to jump off and accept the certainty of pain, or try to climb out of trouble and risk greater injury. Not exactly an alpine epic but happy times!
I did this move using the right foot on the foot block/ground to ingrain the movement, I then used the right foot smear and could do the move first try. Might be worth giving it a go.
