About the same time, as far as I know. I've got a friend coming over from the UK for a while in (maybe) Sept for our Winter and I'm trying to link it in with that.

Will try make a plan though. Conditions depending, we may head for the hills for a bit of boarding first, then get busy on the boulders.

Any news on Wongy's missing wallet?

account_inactive · February 28, 2005, 01:31:35 pm

Don't know if Sam has been back out to check yet.
I think we should just refer to him as 'lucky' for the time being

Jim · February 28, 2005, 01:34:44 pm

I just spoke to westie and he said something about lookin for a wallet this morning. didn't say wether he found it or not tho

r-man · February 28, 2005, 02:26:30 pm

Some pics from the lancs meet.

Jordan on the sitstart to Groundhog

And the finishing moves...

Fiend · February 28, 2005, 02:40:39 pm

Good photos Jim, like the one of youth in particular.

See that dense knows that shirt off / beanie on is the only way to get the requisite amounts of BEEF.

BTW, I bloody hope you sent Jeu Du Toit and Arabesque!!

Jeu du toit went down but I'm afraid I kept running out of beef to do the top of arabesque. I'll be going to it again on the 1st or 2nd day this time and not the 4th or maybe just take one of these with me

plenty of BEEF there

does groundhog not finish higher up. i find the lower arete fairly easy (and kida stay on the right side) i kinda thought the hard bit was higher up where that teeny weeny crack is.

Yeah it does, but the sitstart problem (which might be called Groundhog Day) starts from shit holds and shitter footholds and finishes on the jug. Jordan reckoned it was V7/8 or uk6c. He started from the lowest holds, rather than using a better one on the right that you can stretch to if you have a thick mat. It's possible no-one has connected the sitstart to the top half (which is definitely the hard bit of the normal problem) - though as usual no one is really sure who's done what.

Have you done it from a sitstart? I didn't try it, but it looked pretty hard. A couple of campussy moves into the standup version, then a rockover on the right heel to reach that little hold on the left and then the jug. Do you do it like this, or differently?

Surely the sitter hasn't been done until it's been topped out?
That's how things work on the east of the pennine watershed anyway...

You boys at burbage south; looks ok, but not half as nice as it was atop clogwyn du....
