Last week James 'Bog' Hogg climbed one of stanage's last great problems; the diamond face on the boulder slightly downhill from and between back in the YMCA and help the young.

Name: all 14 8000 metre peaks
Grade: Font 6c

That is unless its already been climbed by any number of stanage wads...jonny footwork...

The problem was quickly repeated and confirmed by dave 'scouse' norton.

[a dense loner]

have you got a photo, or a better description, of this moster?

[Scouse D]

It is actually very good, and I am a man of exquisite taste.

[dave]

I can confirm the grade, if not the quality. Worth also noting mine was the long awaited first static ascent.

[a dense loner]

i can't in all seriousnous believe that this is a first ascent, maybe if it was at kinder

[dave]

no neither can I, eespecially not as it looked like it had been cleaned before.

[cofe]

i thought it looked quite dirty.

well done bogg i say. he's now climbed all 14 8000metre peaks.

[Scouse D]

Well it's definately the first claimed ascent- it was filthy dirty and is a very good problem,therefore appeared to all the world like it hadn't been climbed. So if someone wants to come and "retro-claim" it so be it, but I sure wouldn't want to rub Bogg up the wrong way(or any way), and I wouldn't believe them anyway.
A description of the problem is...
On the aformentioned Diamond face:
 pull on LH flatty in diagonal break, RH in high undercut.
 Get feet up into break, LH to intermediate crimp/sidepull, sort out feet, pop/lank(DAVE) to jug LH. Top out.

it was dirty, but then i remember timmy mallet saying "looks like this walls been brushed".

not a bad problem though i suppose, certainly good enough to be in yorkshire if not the peak.

but then scouse is blind, or i assumed he was judging by his recent climbing wardrobe... :wink:

Aye I remember me saying that too- but none of the holds that we actually used were brushed. Maybe someone had brushed it but didn't have the vision to climb it- or brush the right holds.

It'd be a much better climbing wardrobe if it wasn't on Castors.

[dave]

scouse isn't blind, he just gets dressed with the light off.
