Guacamole feast at Cayley
December 07, 2004, 02:12:41 pm
Whilst it may not be a super butch affair in the States (well done boys), i had a pretty good day at Cayley yesterday.  Managed to send the 'old' project to the right of ZooYork.  Yes, its a two move wonder, but a good one at that.  Basically, pull on pocket/edge with left, nobble with the right,  high rock over/lock to a small edge (well, this could be described as an adge) with your right, and then a tricky pop to the top with your left hand.  Its dead good (hopefully, there will be some agreement!), weighs in at a pretty stiff V11/font 8a,and is called Guacamole, due to the green fluffy texture of the surrounding streaks, and pretty much everything at the crag!   :8)

Effort Chris.

You might want to check that Andy Brown hasn't narrowly beaten you to it, as he was fairly keen and close two weeks ago. Nice name....

Nice one - its a good one as I remember.

I'll be very surprised if some yorkshireman doesn't snadger it though - they don't like foreigners stealing their projects ;-)

I spoke to Andy and he hasnt done it  yet so it seems like a bonafide first ascent.

Top effort

:shock: Holey smokes! An honest old skool local, I didn't think they existed. Tell him he's supposed to say he did it ten years ago and that the giant redwoods you had to cut down to get to it just grow really fast in these parts :wink:  :lol:
