2. Can you name all aforementioned fruit related boulder probs?

3. Who has done all the stand-ups in the burbage valley?

4. What is the internet address of which a pissed Cofe speaks in the Irish meet vid?

No I'm pretty sure its 8a in one summer, incidentally the 2nd ascent of action directe was Alex Adler, although apparently there are some who are dubious about this, not me by the way just people from at the top of the scene way back when, '95 I believe.

2nd ascent of Action Direct was Alex Adler, wasn't it? Iker was a long while afterwards........

Q:  What is a 'shunting biscuit'?

The problem with this thread, (not that its a problem, mind!), is that its more fun thinking up your own questions than trying to answer other peoples! Maybe, we should have a system where if you get a correct answer you can pose a new question?

Not if I can put him off he's not.  I have some antibeta ready and waiting for him.  And if that don't work I'm going to throw toothbrushes at him.  :wink:

1. Running Hill Pits - there's an E2 5b going up from it using a thread around it if i remember rightly
2. is it something to do with access issues? that's the main cause of venues changing names, either that or the want everyone to know it's in the valley of the avers
3. i'm intruiged, do tell...
