James- is it true you did who needs ready brek recently? Heard a rumour yesterday. Fuckin fine effort and full respect! :rocker2:  On a similar vein, when did justin reclimb Ultimate sculpture? Top end 7b anyone!! :shock:
And hot off the press- Sam Whittaker did Scoop de grace yesterday whilst I watched with a fucked knee. So we expect a parade of you heading up to 'the pits' to try one of the most classic grit highballs of the eighties.

Yep, I repeated it in early march.  It is soooo good but realy crimpy.
Justin has not re-climbed Ultimate Sculpture.  It was just a rumour.
Ultimate Sculpture is amazing :lol: .  I have done it in a 1er on a slack ab-rope from a foot off the floor.  I just need a few spotters and i'll go for it on the lead.  I have only climbed a few 7a's and so dont realy know what 7b would feel like.  It is by far the hardest thing I have ever done.  It is certainly alot harder than Angels Share.  There is one hard move on Angels whereas there is a series of 15 hard moves on Ultimate with a slight rest in the middle.
I might go and try it on Thursday.  I would welcome any spotters.  Can I get your mobile number.  Mine is 07833 508 296.  Give me a ring and I'll grab your number.
Cheers

James

Sorry, James, but I'm awaiting a knee op so I'm not even any use as a spotter. You might see me out with the camera though - are you driving yet?

Oh no, how did you hurt your knee?  Hope your better soon.  
I'd be well chuffed if you could take some pickies.  Not driving yet, failed one test in march.  I was a bit pissed off to say the least :evil: .
I dont know about big numbers in font.  I have heard it is realy stiff.  I want to tick Eclipse, I hope its not to warm.
Cheers

Where eclipse is (autre toit) is a proper suntrap. Was way too warm when i was there last sunday week. You might get lucky though.
