Ding Dong's Traverse - basically a right to left traverse of the main S Pen wall that can be linked into any of the up problems. The connection into Gnasher has not been done yet.

Cheers, Simon.

Think it gets v9, but i think its a bit easier. Simon you should check out some of Sam's limestone areas in North North Wales sometime. Pretty good venues, completely sandbagged though. Are these the final grades then or are you going to play around with them a bit more?

p.s. i'd like to see someone warm up on Chris' Link or Wonderwall

pps. simon if you want everything to be consistent you should drop the grade of traverse into bladerunner to v8+ and the continuation reverse of SS to v9, well easy for v10!

It seems to me that the top boys (say the likes of Malc, Gaskins et al) or the ordinary joe-keen boulderers don't feel the need to 'spray', yet the wannabees and not quite top league boys always want to make some noise- perhaps to make up for their lack of performance.....

Cheers, Simon.


It's a fair point, it's always us climbers with egos bigger than our forearms who stir up trouble. I just thought I'd point it out, that's all, some of you lads in N Wales can appear quite robust to a little lad like me :cry:

I'm not sure I'd warm up on any of the problems in your list. I haven't done a tenth of them, hell I haven't even made it to a tenth of the crags. N Wales is surely the place to be for bouldering in our fair isle.

Jesus christ, I nearly spilt me tea!  Anywhere that celebrates a shitty hole like Parisellas has got to be worth missing.
