I watched westie do that again about three weeks ago and I'd be impressed by anyone who can get up it.

A few from the weekend:

On Y2K V5 at the Trenches. Cool problem. 13 moves through a cave on good holds to a slopey finish which was nice in the 30 degree heat.

I did black flag whe I was there about 4 years ago, nice little prob! Did the cavey bit of Y2K, but didnt top it out as I was matless and it felt mega slimy. Has the rock been cleaned a bit more, was pretty dirty when I was there.

[Carnage]

Its a bit dirty in places and theres loads of these orb spinner spiders, that have a habit of sticking their webs at head height across the paths so you tend to walk into 'em unless you wave the 'blessing' stick. But its probably a lot cleaner than when you were there although some probs need a bit of a brush up. A good little area tho' with a font like feel.

Shame you didn't do the finish as thats the best bit. Theres an awesone V10 next to it called Mr Winston with a cool backwards throw. I'll have a bash at that in the winter.

[Bonjoy]

Had the pleasure of doing the 2nd ascent of Mr Winston, did it with double toe jams for the crux, great prob, solid font 7b :wink:.

[DrWong]

did it with double toe jams for the crux, great prob, solid font 7b

Would concur with Bonjoy's assessment of the grade. V8 with or without them fancy toe-hooks.  

If you want something a bit more challenging try my extension (Arcane Power - V9/10?) that cuts right after the crux for a bit more roof action before broaching the headwall for a little sting in the tail. :wink:
