can you tick em all in a day though? make a good bouldering enchainment.

Sounds a bit Alpine - Ru might have to grow a beard.

Perhaps it would set a trend; within the year we could all be sporting some fuzzy facial ala ZZ-Top. No?

Bagged all the slabs and gettin close on the aretes...
The traverse page has been torn out of my guide, as has the limestone section.

Only jokin, couldn't do that to such a thing of beauty

dynos are the true measure of the man though. you can't fag a dyno.

Depends how many growth hormones you were fed when you were a kid. :wink:

Though I'd agree, dynos are the true measure of the man!

Ru - the ultimate acolade. Showed people at work and they thought it looked awesome. I don't think they knew what bouldering looked like and it made it feel 'real'. nice work! Kind of put a damper on it when i said i hadn't done most of them 'why is there only one tick on this list' etc etc

andyh · February 10, 2005, 12:26:45 pm

which dyno's are on the list then? haven't got round to getting a copy yet

dave · February 10, 2005, 12:40:42 pm

off the top of my head, the dynos (not lack of apostrophe) are, maurice gibb, wimberry project, hurricane, roaches dyno, buckstone dyno, sly stallone, and 4 other that i've done but can't rememer. might be jetpack, crash n gurn, pooh and/or rocket man, and maybe another.

r-man · February 10, 2005, 12:52:52 pm

Just recently got the guide - won it in a caption competition! :D

Got to be one of the best prizes I've ever won. (I got a remote control car from Volvo once, that was pretty good too.) Anyway, nice one Ru, it looks great, can't wait to get out and use it. Spent a while comparing it with my rockfax and realising I needed to do sit-starts to almost everything to get a tick in the new guide!

Like that problem at Rowtor that used to be a B5 mantel and now is 7b from a sitstart. The mantel was hard enough! What's this about a heel jam? I kept pulling over and then getting literally stuck on top of my arm.

Anyway, it's all gravy. Great guide, well done.

cofe · February 10, 2005, 12:56:15 pm

yeah, jetpack, C&G, and rocket man are on there.

dave · February 10, 2005, 01:01:13 pm

so it must be:

sly stallone
roaches dyno
buckstone
crash & gurn
jetpack
rocketman
hurricane
maurice gibb
wimberry project

thats only 9 - whats t'other one? summert on the eagle stone?

r-man · February 10, 2005, 01:03:26 pm

Green Room Slap.

cofe · February 10, 2005, 01:03:55 pm

nice editing... :wink:

dave · February 10, 2005, 01:07:29 pm

good knowledge r-man. if only C&G, GRS, H, and SS were actually proper dynos..... :wink:

Bonjoy · February 10, 2005, 01:14:58 pm

What would you have as replacements on your top ten true dynos in the peak dave?

Scouse D · February 10, 2005, 01:24:53 pm

what about spraymane? That is fuckin massive

Scouse D · February 10, 2005, 01:26:00 pm

Ben's Wall?
Top section of Stump hole cavern?

dave · February 10, 2005, 01:30:49 pm

hmmm, thats a tricky one. top ten pure dynos eh.......presumably grit only.

Buckstone Dyno
Roaches Dyno
Big one right of Bulb, eagle tor.
Wimberry Project
Maurice Gibb (never seen it but its gotta be good)
That one at Stanton Moor, near king stone
Where Beagles Dare
The one off undercuts at West, but Jimbo's version, left hand in undercut, right on crimp, catch top with right.
Pooh
Jetpack

pooh and jetpack aint amazing though, but struggling to think of ten

Invalid ones - deliverance, hurricane, To Be Or Not To Be, GRS etc.

dave · February 10, 2005, 01:34:25 pm

yeah stop of stumpfuckhole looks good, but is it a full dyno, is the bottom hand off? probably?. same whit spraymane, i get the feeling the bottom hand might be on still. dunno wether you could give it best though, i mean the landing must detract from it a bit. we must have a go at it though.

cofe · February 10, 2005, 01:38:16 pm

surely these aren't true dynos either though? isn't to be or not to be in fact more of a dyno?

the stump hole thing must be a contender. can't think of others.

dave · February 10, 2005, 01:43:41 pm

yeah true, bottom hand is probably still on with pooh, plus can be done static - scratch that then. the other two well its dodgy ground i know, but at least both hands come off - hurricane/GRS/sly stallone are just big slaps though. As i said i think its a struggle finding 10 non eliminate pure grit dynos in peak that are excellent.

Bonjoy · February 10, 2005, 01:50:22 pm

The one on Smoke ont' Watter wall is good but can be done static (at a harder grade, so not technically an eliminate I guess).
Ben's Wall can also be done static.

cofe · February 10, 2005, 01:50:38 pm

of course they fucking do!! how you trying to play me? with left hand on top hold, are you suggesting your righ hand could be in the break, i.e. at the same level as your feet? I can say my bottom hand was well and truly off when i did it, probably behind me somwhere.

yeah quine is in there then. samson's mutha don't make me laugh. smoke on watter dyno is an eliminate though.
