Ha ha! I went for a walk up the Pinnacle on Tuesday, it was another one of those "tell tale" Gaskins chalk moments. I knew it was him! Looks to have a hard section trying to keep your arse of the block about 6 inches away.

The Little Font problem. THIS IS NOT V14!!!! Bock was right, Gaskins is a big fat liar, no man can climb this problem, it is not true. It is time to give up climbing/move to Switzerland if this is what you have to do for a V14 tick round here.  :shock:

OH. MY. GOD.

If that little font line is the one i'm thinking off then, well. Gaskins you lie :wink: . That's the sickest bit of climbing i've ever seen in my life. I'm in shock. I remember lookin at that with a friend and betting my life on it that no one would climb it within 5 years :oops: - look's like i'm dead. V14, lol, yeah right...

Seriously Andy Earl's problem Growlers at Bowden Doors has bigger holds than this and Growlers (i think it's V11) is by definition a slab! Gaskins i bow down to you... :worthy:  :worthy: :worthy:

Never bet your life on *anything* being unclimbable when Gaskins is on the prowl. He is not human.

Gas-who??

Nice one....the traverse sound like typical Gaskins quality lol.


P.S. FOAM you shouldn't have to die as the result of your bet, but a bout of self-flagellation (videoed, preferabley) should be required...
