I was going to head up to Yorkshire, but it looks like a wash out - I'm pretty sure it all shite, Wales is piss wet.

sod the mutha's birthday present.... a trip to Brimham is in order - test out my new downie and see whether Pair In a Cubicle feels any less impossible than it did in summer (or whether its just that my mantels are worse than a cowboy builder's fireplace).

Granite and gabbro on adjacent boulders? If true, geologically weird.

Quarried grit this weekend... Apparently there have been some pretty hard problems done at Brownstones by clm's nemesis! And there's this:

Quote
Theres a project in the middle that ive been trying for years, which starts up the biggest crack line on the wall, then moves left into the middle of the walll by an obvious flat hold and a stupid dyno for a crap mono, easily noticable as its the highest part of the wall. Dont think many have tried this, a direct start would also go at at least V11. Its a hidden classic this, would have west side story status if it was in the peak.


sounds amazing...

Gonna go look... Operative word there being look. :lol:  And then maybe a quick shufty of montcliffe and lester mill.

Don't get worried, get quarried.  :8)
..hey, it rhymes, what more can you ask?

what a brilliant afternoon Saturday was. Everyone and their dog at the plantation, it felt good nic and I was only foiled by lack of time rather than ability (honest). Was in the Pitt of brad with everyone else, Ru doing laps without matching the gaston and much strange beta getting traded!!

Satday, top day out. As well as BP, bagged Help the Young (normal start) and Beneath the Breadline. Sunday 5th Cloud, Finger of Fate, Hard Arete and Hanging Slab on the boulder, then up to Doxy's Pool and a 7a+ sit start arete thing.
 Bloody good weekend, shame the forecast looks shit for next one.

went to Hobson Morr Quarry yesterday - check ma bad esoteric self!

first time I've been there, did some cool stuff tho my tendons hurt from muchos crimping. Got some bidnezz on film tho.

Tried the phat traverse but bits of it were wet...that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
