someone's not had their ritalin

i want to do an E4 because it is a harder challenge, and not because it is E4.

Well if thats what your after why not make it E5 - it sounds much better down the pub, and theres plenty of safe ones.

Sorry andi, but plz keep it sane, and Chris stop rising to the bait

I'm washing my hands of it now. If the silly fucker want's to go off and kill himself it's up to him now, I've (we've) done my bit to try and get the info through to him.

control freak where's this soft touch E5 called PUSSY ? it's not at the pit's is it? :wink:

[Control freak]

I was going to reply with the likes of soft touch and pussy and Im sure you must have had a go. But I wont :wink:

[Sloper]

Soft touch E5, well there's plenty.

[Dude]

I believe 'Pussy' is at Pembrooke (Range west), alas last I heard it was a soft touch HS 4b...someone's been bigging themselves up!

unlocked - thinking about it, locking a topic on the grounds of silliness was wrong of me.

No, you were right, it was a spectacularly pointless topic in the first place :x

I'm educating people. And trying to salvage something from the mess.

I my memory isn't playing tricks on me I think you can place the gear on EJ by leaning over the top (or maybe it was by hanging off the top). In my book this is still in keeping with the ground up ethic. What do others think about this? Obviously putting a quickdraw on would be a step too far.

i dont see why not - you approach he climb from the top anyways! - what? we supposed to pretend its a pitch on a mountain crag or summat??

up to the individual in my book, i reckon as long as you dont pre/clip them (top rope) thus damaging the placements whilst falling from the crux lower bit, its cool if your ethical concience can deal with it. But what do i know!?! have you seen the state of my logbook!!!  oh, dear..

For the record Jetrunner is soft. Feels about E2 6a if you trust the gear. I found the arete at the top to be the hard bit! Got scared! Its the only "E4" that I've done and I felt disappointed and that I haven't properly done an E4. Archangel felt MUCH harder and if that's benchmark E3 I don't think I want to do an E4.

Edit: Oops. Didn't see how dead and ridiculed this topic was. Apols.

[Fiend]

Worst revival of a thread ever. But, Jetrunner is E3 6a, Archangel is a much better route and climbing experience.

[Bubba]

That is quite impressive - this topic was dormant for almost 4 years

[GCW]

And pray it may become so again

[andy popp]

I wonder if Andi did his E4?

[Joepicalli]

Yeah Andi did you do your E4? UKB needs to know.

[Johnny Brown]

And more importantly, how'd it feeel?

[Sloper]

Apparently the first inch is the most painful

Yeah tallsop, whats with unearthing all these ancient threads and replying to stuff posted years ago? Are you bored and reading the whole forum from start to finish? That'd be a more impressive tick than a headpointed E7 

[SA Chris]

Are you bored and reading the whole forum from start to finish? That'd be a more impressive tick than a headpointed E7 

But more likely to be beneficial to your climbing though.

[Jaspersharpe]

But more likely to send you completely insane though.

[SA Chris]

That's a given.

You don't have to be crazy to post here, but it helps.
