Does anyone know were I can get a copy of the Slipstones topo for tomorrow ie. Off the nett or someone emailing me one.
I have not got a copy of OTE April 2002 which is the one with the topo in it so no good suggesting that idea.

Any Thoughts?

In a word, no. But you could try getting hold of the guide book North East England:



which has all the routes, and a lot of the older problems described. I recon you'll be able to find most stuff. I might be going sunday and i was planning on taking that guide and just busking it, though i have been before.

I've had a good look online in the past, but never found anything apart from a google-cached copy of a load of problems and their v-grades.

It might be worth emailing smartboysonline.co.uk to see if they can help.

If anyone out there has a scanner and the mag then if they do the honours then I'd love a copy too.

though i have been before.

and we have the evidence:

Thats a cracking problem, E1 5b ish, "Steve's Wall" crux at the top. That photo was taken years ago, i still like it. Still wearing that T-shirt anall, its indestructable.

[Bubba]

Is that the one right at the left hand end of the crag. If it is then I wussed out of topping out....

[dave]

Yeah its the extreme LH end of the crag, really the first buttress. Its immaculate rock, i was blown away.

Hi Guys Thanks for trying to help but I`m sorted know! My friendly neighbourhood climbing shop (Kentdale Rambler) had a copy of the old OTE so I have photo-copied the article. By the way if anyone wants a copy I`ll send them a hard copy in the post if they give me there address.

Does anyone know if anything new has been done there since the article?

[dave]

You aughta check smartboysonline for new problems.

Did anyone else know Steve Dunning had done Cypher?

[Bubba]

Thanks Greg but I can borrow one off a mate and scan it....

...where did you hear that Dave?

And I'd just been looking at SBOL too - not sure if Andy Earl repeating Hale Bopp is really news, but there we go...

[dave]

I suppose it is if you're one of his mates, afterall 100s of people do it every year.

Mind you, half of the stuff cragx news is pretty lame too, like "youngest albanian to climb F8a" or "heaviest female left-hander to climb A4" etc.

[Bubba]

You sexist, southpawist git ! I suppose they're just putting up content for the sake of it. Let's face it, most climbing sites get their news from 8a.nu anyway, and they're sports climbing mad.....

I got nothing against salad-dodging keggy-handed biatchez, you know its da truth. :wink:
