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

...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.

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, 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?

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.
