Could this now become the Peak District's most notorious flake now that the Parthian flake has sunk? Let's get Seb up there to test it.

I'd seen the chalk on the photo but that rock up seemed sketchy and the slopers felt awful in the sun. The leftwards exit just happened to be easier, not that you'd trust the flake really!

I thought that was the E7 bit, but sounds like your version would just be death by a different agent! E7 6a?

The holds Ben is stood on in the photo are over-positive up pointing little flakes that you have to do a huge lock off on.

Indeed, as James found out! I guess the worst one has gone at least...

I love watching people campusing on one finger.

I've just watched that Shock of the New vid right through and the lack of comment here is a little surprising..... actually, I really don't know what to make of it myself!

It was a good vid. The end is hard to watch. Hope it wasn't as bad as it looked?

Its quite old (I certainly saw it a good couple of years ago).  Maybe others have too and that might go someway to explaining the lack of comments.  :shrug:

I've watched it a few times on DVD, long with its companions, so I suspect that's why it's not been discussed that much.  It has a charm of its own with the single camera stuff and Doylo's (?) nervous laugh at the end.

Consumed has also been uploaded.

I found this best watched with Dan's audio commentary turned on. Wonder if that could also be uploaded?

Dave: SOTN and Consumed have been around for a while, and a lot of the clips have been up already on Dan's Youtube. It is very cool seeing lots of routes you don't normally see, and to see just how much easier everything looks with pre-practised moves and pre-placed gear.

Watching the Weather Report as a hidden bonus on the Consumed DVD....once was enough for that  :sick:

That's totally excellent.

Hope he downclimbed from the top preclipped draw before each attempt though or Barrows will be sending the ethics police round.

 :lol: You should see me now, preclipping the hell out of everything within reach. I have no ethics.

Me. It makes my tendons hurt to watch!

I think that's a project which Chris Cubitt got really close to doing a few years back....

Thanks all, having moved to a backward corner of a backward land (did I just type that?  :whistle:) I hadn't even heard of it before, I thought it was great generally although one or two of the harder solos were a tad unnerving. I'm with Fiend on the Weather Report bit though.

Struth, what have I done!!  :sorry:

Why this only has 100 views i dont know. Probably because most people on here saw it on the bbc in the 80s!

Obviously everyone's seen this, but worth a rewatch, especially for Jack's comments at the end:

"I only did it because you guys did it....I didn't want to do it....I didn't like it"  :lol:
