i want a project for the winter!
December 14, 2004, 05:32:55 pm
gonna be going back home to sunny colwyn bay this weekend for the christmas break - been flicking through the new guide a lot whilst on the loo - there's so much - wondering if anyone had an idea of a decent project around the v6 mark -  looking for something thats a crimpy wall i reckon or a traverse would be nice if it hasnt got a horrible stopper move!
peace out

Crimpy wall: The limpet, V6 and ace, or the edge problem SDS, V6 and ok.
Traverse: Fear of a slopey Planet, V6 and ace (no stopper moves).

Yes I would say we are.

Birdie is probably a golfing term, closely related to "hole in one"?

errrr, no... I've no idea what u 2 are on about!

But anyway, as soon as I get all this work nailed (friday) I'll be off to try the Boneyard at Caseg ffraith(sp?), which is a quality spot BTW.

Lipstick in Parasellas is a quality problem. Think it is V6.

How about Jerry's Wall opposite the Ynys Ettws entrance (i.e. below Carreg Wastad) - mistakenly given V8 in't guide, but reckoned to be V6/7.

That's yer crimpy wall, but for a traverse you've got loads of choice - I reckon Cave Route at the Roadside Face is as good as any and nearly always in nick. If you want something a bit more eclectic, how about Born in Gateshead at Porth Ysgo or Sundowner in the Pass.

So many classics, so little time...

big up respect to mr doyle - im gonna  try n come to porth ysgo with u guys soon - ulysesses has cut off his hair though! and had an accident so his power should all be gone now hopefully! how was u s of a?

ill check out that travese mr panton is it on the south side of the pass -  its thanks to your guide that im fully psyched for home now - it shits on the peak imho!

and i thought lipstick was a bit grim when i tried it ages ago, does it go right to left with a horrible finger jam weirdness  just after the  start?
