Stop messing around with crap eliminates and trim some of that heather off the finishes!

There's been quite a lot of heather trimmed off the tops recently. Think it's Geoff Hibbert who does it every year. Good man. Thing is though, the heather is on a steep bank on top of the wall, so I usually prefer to just downclimb an easier problem.

I haven't been on many eliminates recently, I've been on the long back wall, which is excellent, and really deserves a lot more attention.

yeah, it's easily the best part of brownstones... i love it, just let me loose on rusty wall for my first V6 contender! its a shame, i could have had Hradline V3, bloody fingers, why weren't they designed so that they could be bent back when landing on them?

I reckon rusty wall is about V5. Mike did it and thought it was ft6c+, which is hard V5. (Though he did find Pigswill easier, which is probably soft V6.) Who knows. It feels about ft6c to me. One thing is for certain, it isn't uk6c - in fact I haven't found a brownstones problem yet that is. Apart from the ones not in the guide - some of those are dirty hard. Was trying Colt the other day and that's certainly 6c - it gets V9 from the mysterious Paul R.

And no Fiend, I'm not talking about eliminates.

This one was taken of me the other day by a college student Johnathan Porter.

That really is awesome. Possibly the best indoor wall photo I've seen (the other one is that girl dynoing with the huge shadow, probably on ukb somewhere). You forgot to mention that the flash was someone else's camera - brilliant fluke!

What camera was he using, btw? The focus is almost spot on, which means if it's a digital it must be pretty good, as I assume you're swinging quite a bit?

[MB]

All i know is that it was some momma of a digital camera, That image is 20% of the size of the one on my pc, and that has been reduced slightly in compression.

The flash was from another camera.
Shame i fell of the next move though.

[cofe]

flash will be sync-ed from his camera. its no fluke baby.

[Stubbs]

The flash was from another camera.

That means there wer two people taking photos at a climbing wall.... oh dear   :shock:

[Fiend]

Possibly the best indoor wall photo I've seen

High praise indeed  :shock:
