It was the other project in that area that Kim did ie the right hand side of Rollin' Pat arete, from a sit start. The line has also been receiving a fair bit of atention from Andy Harris/Scouse D. Since Scouse couldn't do it, it must be 8b...english tech

That's right.

dave · January 10, 2005, 11:03:56 am

nah dave, if it was only 8b i'd have flashed it. my money is on 8c+ minimum.

cofe · January 10, 2005, 11:18:40 am

i heard it was wimberry 8c.

now that's a grade

Andy Harris · January 12, 2005, 11:36:39 am

Just for the record I did the standing start to the new Eagle Tor problem 18 months ago at about Font 7b starting from the low arete with left an obvious side pull with right. Named â€œThe Eagle has Landed.â€ Was hoping to set off an Eagle stone style prolem naming bonanza with my favourite genre of books. It's classic slappy grit action so get on it. Was pipped to the post by Kim on the sitdown but expect for those that can't go direct to the side pull the additional 7 hand and foot movements will bump the grade to a girn inducing 7c+/8a. Hopefully I'll be able to confirm this in coming weeks.

hows the topout on that andy - it always looked a nightmare to me. do you kinda top left on the arete, or work rightwards, ....or just mantle like a mutha?

cofe · January 12, 2005, 11:52:44 am

kim went right i believe.

Scouse D · January 12, 2005, 12:15:34 pm

I think kim also used the capping block of the gulley to top out from what he was saying

Bonjoy · January 12, 2005, 12:35:49 pm

Oooooooo controversial!

Scouse D · January 12, 2005, 12:44:56 pm

Does that mean that the race is still on for the first pure ascent? Or more likely does it mean that I misunderstood Kim?
Either way I second Lovejoy's statement but with one extra o.
Ooooooooo controversial!

Was just looking through previous posts, and noticed the pics of johnny Brown on that arete at cratcliffe, statint it as a new problem, this has definetly been done before about 1 1/2 or 2 years ago, dont know what it was called or graded but was definetly climbed.
Looked amazing anyway.

dave · January 12, 2005, 01:44:14 pm

who'd done it?

i must admit i was under the impression it'd been done before, dunno where i got that from though.

P.S. is what bransby did from a sitter or standing?

P.S.S. surely the cratcliffe fernhill groove thing would fall to bransby's recent wad-form. question?

Johnny Brown · January 12, 2005, 02:06:12 pm

Percy did the wall just to the right from a sitter a couple of years ago. This may be the cause of the confusion.

If the arete was done, good effort. I know a few who tried but failed, but if anyone succeeded they kept very quiet - I know Ru did a lot of research for the guide. Who?
Its from standing - you might be able to sit-start as for Percy's and trav in, but it's not the kind of thing to get excited about.

cofe · January 12, 2005, 02:21:30 pm

bransby should get in the groove and call it appointment with bass clef. i thank you.

Johnny Brown · January 12, 2005, 02:26:30 pm

The Bransby is too short on height and vision for that groove...

....what we need is a taller version of dawes... though better looking... possibly with bunches???

I always wanted to call it Benny Hill, or Jimmy Hill, but that's fucking boss.

Bonjoy · January 12, 2005, 04:58:31 pm

Can't say i've ever heard any rumours of the arete being done.

Johnny Brown · January 16, 2005, 06:48:33 pm
