On the subject of VS cracks.... Pair In A Duff Sequence For The VS Crackible??

Hueco bouldering (climbing start about 3mins in) -->

Starts a move in from where I start (matched on ledge), but otherwise the same (although I guppy the arête like in the prev video). I'd say 7b?

This beta is a lot more straight-far ward than mine, however it looks really strong and reachy (not my style). I'd feel hard done by to only get 7b for this. It's significantly harder than many of the 7bs in the area.

Stone Kingdom Scotland, incredibly it seems nobody else has posted it yet.



Marra Time looks sick, I imagine if I was Malc or Dave Mac I'd be heading there as soon as possible to get on the sit.

[ardeer]

5 mins in, odd shoes!?

[a dense loner]

? I don't know what you mean Ardeer? If it is as simple as dan wearing odd shoes then a lot of people do this. You may need a good heel on the right foot but a smearing shoe on the left.

Sorry, saw that a while ago and should have posted it, the new stuff on the steep block looks well cool.

[SA Chris]

I assumed it was up already! Some amazing footwork and sequences.

As far as I'm aware, Malc tried it quite a bit and I think Dave Mac's been there.

[miso soup]

Malc tried it quite a bit

But now he's got the beta...

I think the eagle that has been spotted nesting there might put paid to any future ascents.

(Might be some routes in there too though)

What is all this bollocks about Eagles nesting there? Clint eatswood was nowhere to be seen...nay jocks even visit the crag nowadays so it wont affect them anyway as the place had been forgotten since Mr Smith left it. The Eagle looked to be nesting about 1-2 miles away considerably higher up and on a massive crag (where eagles tend to nest), notices are in the village (or speak to the man in the post office), its hardly nesting on top of the bloody boulders and when i saw it last year it was from a good mile or so away as it was flying over a ridge line miles away having a bit of a hunt. The whole valley is being reforested by scottish woodlands (mostly deciduous) and mountain bike trails are being built.  If the boulders were in an SPA boundary it'd be folly to grant planning permission for mountain bike trails there! Reforestation is much more likely to affect climbing there. The reforesting will eventually shorten the season in a few years as it'll keep the wind down and the midgies up. However the trees wont come right up to the boulders so it might be ok in june on the right days still. On the plus side i think (vaguely recall a convo about it with a villager) they might be building a car park near the water treatment plant. so the walk in would be reduced even more. As ever if the Eagle has moved (which it may have??) i'd be the first to advise sacking off visiting the place until its moved on but last year that was very much not the case.

The eagles even got a frikkin go pro on his head! everyone is at it now. Boulder is behind the one visible on the valley bottom in the first frames. Pretty useful tool for finding new boulders the old eagle cam!

[Adam Lincoln]

Just heard it from a guy that works for the RSPCB up there Dan. Problems at the Anvil possibly too, with a sea eagle.

[carlisle slapper]

Sea Eagle! sounds like big bird turf wars, which'd be good to see on the eagle cam. Interested to hear more as will probably visit arrochar a bit more this spring.

The full version is not bad value for an hour long video at a little over 1.5 fuck-alls.

I enjoyed that, though for reference I'm pretty sure supersize me starts a few moves further back

[r-man]

Yeah, from the obvious undercut. Back around! 

[a dense loner]

wasn't supersize me first reported as one move into huffy's problem, as in just bumping the left hand?

[abarro81]

I'd presumed it started from the lowest undercut there is (flat/rounded one, just below the sharp one CWP start with his RH on). It makes at least a small difference too, since when I tried I did it from where he starts but not the lower start which I presume is the actual start.
