Just for a record, has this been flashed and who by? I have heard the names Tim Clifford, Andy Brown and Roy Whatsisname having done it. Anyone know for sure?

Darren Stevenson certainly had it dialled. He showed me at least half a dozen different methods one afternoon.

Darren was exceptional at dialling things and making things look utterly piss - brad pit and i remember all quiet on the western front being a particularly good sandbag!

In my experience, having stuff dialed is usually the result of having to work it.

The only name I've heard is Matt Birch... though twas never more than a story...

darren here,  :shock:

Did not flash west side, took me about ten attempts over two days in 1996,
brad pit was six attempts over two days 1999, really annoyed with this one as I fell off the jug on my fourth attempt, first day
Ben was not quite correct as I flashed L,infidele at bas cuvier which was 7C+ but only 7B+ with the toe hook. Prouder of doing La Berizina second attempt with no toe hook.

Probably matt flashed as he is a mutant in the nicest possible way

Johnny Brown, sorry but I do not work things, I aint good enough. meybe you need  more experience LOL

probably my first and last post here


Hello pantontino, bowie and grimer hope you are all well, I have decided to start climbing again, snowboarding hurts too much, since my four years away have made me keen again.

drop me a line you guys

Darren

maybe you'll need to work off that belly if you're gettin back into it. Don't want you getting stuck in that squeeze chimney at high neb again ;)
