You'll have to wait and see about the Very Very Big roof, good or choss, as jon has to negociate road works in York!

So we're off to Bat Butress at Brimham to tick the elusive Riddler (V4).

Well, I have to negotiate a full day in front of the pc, under the harsh glare of the office striplights (I can just hear the violins starting up....)

Have a lovely day out bouldering, you barstewards !

Your "very big roof" sounds a bit pokey if you ask me. I know of a roof in yorkshire thats about 12 foot high, 14 foot deep and about 100ft long, unclimbed. Now thats what i call a big roof.

After all the hype I'm completely underwhelmed.

[jonP]

Yep, it's a load of crap.  It has some of the worst unclimbed roof problems I've ever seen.  You're better off at Stinton Moor, or whatever it's called.

[dave]

damn right

[Bubba]

It looks a log better from the front but I must admit after FH's hype I was expecting something a bit more extensive!!

Like what, somthing the size of Kilnsey that no one had noticed?

[Bubba]

I was thinking a bit more like a grit version of Strone Ulladale....

[Big Frank]

Apparently this new esoteric venue has seen diffrent people visiting it every evening for the last week. It is covered in chalk & tick marks.

5 minutes walk further on nearly in Whitehouses is another fine boulder. With 3 or 4 reasonable problems of about V1/2.

I suppose this is why some people keep their new discoveries secret? I read ages ago that Andy Jack had his own "secret" bouldering area up in Yorkshire - probably known about by now but if I found a really top notch crag then I'd probabaly not put it online.

Are you saying Fox Hagg isn't world class?

[Bubba]

Errrrmmm.....no, of course not, Fox Hagg is an amazing, inspiring venue of the utmost quality.... must go back there sometime  :wink:
