Always climb better after one of those

[teestub]

On a point of order, I don't think that's a 5 star line (assuming 5 is the max score). It's a cool wall but it's basically a 2-number-grades-harder Manson's Wall. On the same bit of rock, the groove/ramp to the right is the better line.

The fuck are you talking about? Are you saying a climb up a blank wall can’t be 5*?

[SA Chris]

Nice armchair Will.

I think this might be a misunderstanding between "an x star line" and "an x star problem"? With line and problem maybe having been used interchangeably in teestub's original post?

Yes, feel free to replace ‘line’ with ‘problem’ (or bloc 🤮) in first post. But I also stand by the second post, Freak Brothers and Amandla being two examples that spring to mind.

For sure, if this were written up in the UK you'd likely give it 3 stars. But if we're talking lines and rating out of 5 then probably not so much. Best line of crimps on a leaning wall that springs to mind is The Lash - the diagonal striations naturally drawing the eye/climber upwards: beauty.

Please accept two further bicep emojis by way of apology.

Magna Strata news coming to ukc.

Did they just read this thread to write that article?

[Kingy]

Yeah, looks like they're copying us!

On the topic of hard slabs, has anyone put time into Endless Nameless? Possibly at the risk of opening another Gaskins did-he-or-didn't-he discussion...

I know Nik of this parish spent some time on it a while ago, which i remember reading about on a blog years ago. i stood under it last year and its filthy, would take a bit of effort to clean

If I remember correctly Mike Adams has at least done all the moves.

Just remembered, the info I read is in an interview with Nik in the back of the Lancashire bouldering guide

I don't think Mike has even tried it. He has done all the moves on Information Highway Revisited, the awesome arete in Montcliffe quarry. Gaskins gave that 7C+, Mike thought 8B.

Yeah, though the line Nik worked is at the left end of the slab, whereas Endless Nameless goes up the middle.

Ahhh that's what I was thinking of. Cheers.

This seems fairly significant to me; first ascent of the lower standing start to Imothep in Font, I.e. not stepping in off the boulder to the left. Sounds like good progress on the sit too!

Wow that’s pretty cool, the sit has to be amongst the best projects in front.

Looks like Orrin Coley did his multi year project at Forest Rock today to add Ultra Instinct 8C

Ah that's ace, he's put so much time into that! Sit start still to go 

Well done Orrin if you're reading
