50 must do problems before dying


What grade does dying get these days? You'd want to work up to it gradually. V8+ perhaps? Isn't that beyond the pale?

Sorry.

It's late. That pun was the living end.

The old school crimpfest, the Traverse of Bluebell Wall @ The Breck, would be on my list of Desert Island Problems -- honestly :wink:

A little closes to home my present day Nemesis, have managed in to halves - Yorkshire 8A - a lip traverse at Rothley shear perfection.


that's the only reason I can come up with to return to Rothley (is there anything worthwhile other than that and the stuff at arete land?).  Have had a play on it: early part seemed burly fun (swinging heel-hookery) ... but the second half: christ.  The final uphill straight where the wall just keeps getting shorter.... stuff of nightmares!

Oh and my choice for an easy desert island problem - Right Hand Twin at Slipstones: lovely movement at an amenable grade.

Cleopatra at Bridestones.

I try to avoid there these days 'cos it's falling apart, but Cleopatra is still in pretty good nick and utterly brilliant.

Did you stay at Bryce's?  Is he still working his ass off or is he actually managing to climb much?

At one of Yorkshire worst venues (if there could be such a thing) is one of Yorkshires Finest problems - A Little Sparkle.

Well one of the better problems int dale anyway.
