Doylo · March 14, 2003, 12:14:14 pm

Woodwell my arse, theres only one decent problem there and thats Alien Head, dunno who the first ascentionist was but he had vision!

Doylo · March 14, 2003, 12:15:59 pm

Kin ell Dave i'd like to see a v3 climber campus their way up fast cars!

dave · March 14, 2003, 12:18:45 pm

Mebby your right, but i just thought it would fit in nicely below NTBTA. Maybe could replace Fast Cars with Closer, or Grapes Of Raf.

Doylo · March 14, 2003, 12:44:16 pm

I got it Caseg ffraith arete at Caseg Ffraith lower, thats the best v3 along with Grapes of Wrath. Few contenders for the best v6 in wales too, King of Drunks, Raging Bull, Elaphantitus.

dave · March 14, 2003, 12:53:25 pm

Quote from: "Chris Doyle"

Few contenders for the best v6 in wales too, ........ Elaphantitus.

Don't let scouse hear you say that, he won't be able to get his head through the door.

Doylo · March 14, 2003, 12:57:50 pm

Or Panton, two of those problems are his!

dontfollowme · March 14, 2003, 02:32:04 pm

Where is Caseg Groove (V5)? I've been to the boulders by the river is it on the first one?

Doylo · March 14, 2003, 03:46:10 pm

yeah the obvious central groove

Scouse D · March 14, 2003, 04:12:32 pm

Elephantitus...one of the best V6s in Wales...i'm offended.It's THE BEST v6 in the world.
Big headed? moi?

Scouse D · March 14, 2003, 04:14:42 pm

Slopey planet is top drawer, better than green traverse any day-and harder

dontfollowme · March 14, 2003, 04:58:58 pm

I assume there's no trick to slopey planet, you just have to keep going?

Doylo · March 15, 2003, 05:57:14 pm

Hell no, your not wasting all this glorious weather with your girlfriend are you?

dontfollowme · March 16, 2003, 12:49:05 pm

We went to porth ysgo yesterday. I had an ok day but it seemed a bit warm and having already split a tip at cromlech earlier in the week my skin got hammered pretty quickly. The overhanging arete on the made in heaven block was cool though.

cofe · March 17, 2003, 12:41:12 pm

word up ...my bi-annual post... thought i'd rendezvous avec some problems - like dave i'll try to just give t'ones av done.

v1 - Crescent arete
v2 - Perfect porthole
v3 - Closer
v4 - NTBTA
v5 - Fast cars
v6 - Curving arete (higgar)
v7 - Kingdom of Rain
7b - Red Baron
7b+ - Blind Date
7c - Walk on by - the best problem i haven't done (yet)

no point putting owt harder cos they might be bobbins.

power to the people.

Scouse D · March 17, 2003, 01:21:57 pm

Good call on the Higgar arete J. Not so sure about Blind Date- don't really rate it as a three star classic-I much prefer problems which have a top out, though the moves are reet good, I reckon WSS would be my choice (it will be mine,oh yes it will be mine)

cofe · March 17, 2003, 03:20:35 pm

fair do's actually scousey baby - i'll amend blind date to T-crack low start cos its awesome and harder than blind date i reckon.

just printed a cool phot of your ass on Closer...
does anybody know where i can get a free photoshop/paintshop pro type thing to shrink some images???

increase the peace

dave · March 17, 2003, 03:33:30 pm

dontfollowme · March 20, 2003, 11:46:27 am

what's the sheep in the above list. King of drunks is quality.

Scouse D · March 20, 2003, 01:10:08 pm

The sheep is the curving crack on the Bubage south boulders involving a slap to a sloper off a pocket and crack-top bollox.

dontfollowme · March 20, 2003, 04:25:29 pm

Pantontino · March 20, 2003, 11:28:01 pm

Actually, just thought, Red Baron is V7.

Pantontino · March 20, 2003, 11:35:14 pm

...and I guess Horror Arete and Pair In a Cubicle at Brimham...and Lily Savage (V8) in the Ogwen Valley near George's Crack which is also a contender...and the Desert Island Arete start at Earl...and Rabbit's Paw Wall Groove...

...I think I better go to bed.

Greg C · March 21, 2003, 09:17:36 am

I Reckon Red Barron is V7 if you can reach the good bit of the pinch from the ground and low end V8 if you have to do the extra move.

Greg

Greg C · March 21, 2003, 09:21:37 am

Hey Si by Rabbits Paw Wall Groove do you mean Welsh Rarebit/Wait and if so does it still get V10?

Greg

Scouse D · March 21, 2003, 09:45:36 am

Can't believe I missed off Caseg Groove V5. Absolutley brilliant

Pantontino · March 21, 2003, 10:17:22 am

Greg, I do indeed. A stunning line, perfect slopey holds...shame I could never do it!
I'm not sure what the grade is nowadays, V9?

I'm 6ft and I still used to have to jump for the pinch on RB. That barndoor balance move to match on the arete is pure magic.

Cheers, Simon

PS Eh, Scouse D, are you coming back for another summer stint at PYP?

Scouse D · March 21, 2003, 03:12:06 pm

Alright Si. Won't be back in t'pass this summer- too busy workin on my PhD. Definately going to take an extended holiday in beris though- but it'll be really wierd not being there all summer. Might be poppin over in a few weeks to see some of the beris crew and check up on parry- if I'm around I'll come see you or meet in the heights or something.
