There's always dampness around The Pinch but usually the holds on the problem itself stay dry.......................................

I'm severely tempted but should really stick to training this week.  :devangel:

Kudos wall was all dry last night even though it was raining the whole time we were there. The traversing and warm section looked ok although we didnt climb on it.

Dave showed this to me a few days ago - it's a Mike Adams problem. Starts as for Tsunami, then heads left with a big move to the sidepull jug and finishes up Bigger Tail.

Good effort Dave!

As robin says dan, Dancing Fish- FA Mike Adams, god knows when... Kudos wall 8a.

Me and Ned repeated this last night- start as for Tsunami but when you get the right hand sidepull use either the pinch or undercut to bust left hand again to the big side pull jug and finish up bigger tail.

We both thought it was harder than Tsunami but not quite 8a+, really good moves and nice to finish higher then bigger splash jug!! Get repeating guys...

Ned says that he reckons it was climbable yesterday.

All good on Kudos wall today, traverses looked dry too.  I think this dancing fish problem may be somewhat harder/8D if your reach is less than about 5'10"  (i.e a midget).

Its also fucking sharp! Problem is that you have to chuck at the hold and it ruins your skin. I got a couple of (red) tips in last night, but neglected to hold on.
