Ben Dover gave me some details on this and some topos too. It seems there is a good amount of mid-grade stuff but it's more vertical and also seperate from the main cave.

P.S. Count me in if you want a partner

Ben Dover?

[SA Chris]

Yeah, he's mates with Phil McCavity.

[Wood FT]

ah yeah, big Phil

[Fiend]

Davidson, that's who I was thinking of....

There is stuff in the main cave in the 6s and plenty in the 7s. More than enough to keep you happy for a few weeks unless you are the type who just wants to onsight at a specific grade. If the later you would run out in a week or so.
The place is class and the lower grade routes are as good as the higher. If your onsighting in the low to mid sevens and redpointing in the mid 7s to low 8s you will be a very happy camper.

There is a bunch of folks from Sheffield heading out in June for 3 weeks, me included (but only for 10 days unfortunately).

You'd think Daniel Woods would remember that he'd actually "given sport climbing a try" before- he did a 9a+ that time as well so it's not like it was insignificant.

Woods and Graham in Flatanger

You had me at "kneebar paradise".

[Duncan campbell]

Thought this was ace... but that might be because I flipping love Mt Arapiles...

Hey! you there with the truth! fuck off and leave me with my hyperbole

[abarro81]

I thought the same when woods was talking.. Its not like he's been on extended trips to ceuse, loup, red river, rodellar, spent months at rifle and fortress of solitude... He's basically never been sport climbing really.

Redemption available.

Rewatched this. Hype / controversy / hysteria / contrition about his grading and WOL still annoys me. Too much stupid mis-understanding of the UK grading system from other people, too much grovelling from James (e.g. repeats of the promise weren't a slightly different style, they used enough pads to make a big difference with a shit landing, Rhapsody is still an eliminate even if a spectacular and great one, that is obvious from the footage and sonnie's ascents, incidentally the only previous repeats were the UK's best sport climber and the world's strongest trad climber ehhhh). Footage of him pissing Rhapsody is still great.

Take a very good, strong, experienced trad climber, give them a full rack of micros sliders etc, and set them loose on Rhapsody and Walk Of Life. Which one do they stand more chance of 1. Onsighting successfully, and 2. Surviving / escaping successfully if they fail. Bet it's not 2 fucking grades in it.

Cheers youth, that's my dinner viewing sorted.

Brilliant what a great film.
 
A trip down memory lane seeing Wilton's in all their glory.

Well put together and high quality composition there. The intro sequence is brilliant and the general purpose of the film is good - although the quality of the film looks slightly better than some of the subject matter! Still, it would tempt me back.

One criticism is the music is waaay louder than the voices, I had to keep turning it up and down.

Thanks Fiend! Glad you enjoyed it 
Yeah I know about the sound, it bugged me too... I didn't have the knowledge or software to deal with OMF files in time - learning curve!

PS: do it! The quarries miss you

Nice video 

[cheque]

Nice one rginns. Shows how much more important a fresh, interesting story and relatable characters are to a good climbing film than sponsored heroes and world class locations. I love how you've got the old guys contradicting each other!

[lagerstarfish]

fucking ace

anyone tried to prosecute you for using a drone near a public road?
