A while ago there was a Mad Rock advert showing Dai Koyamodo on something called Grand Jete in Bordeaux, France.  It was a first joint mono thing - information on crag etc would be much appreciated, it looks cool as fuck!

Some crafty googling suggests it might be "Le grand jeté de tabatta" at Eaux Claires.

Video of the area here if anyone is interested. No footage of the 8b though im afraid although the french dude at the end is classic...

[Huffy]

Oh my god, just watched that video and i expect back with big numbers from C.j.d.

That place is made for you Chris!

I like the little kid walking round and round in circles - clearly driven insane by a young lifetime spent being forced to hang out at crags with dad and his wierd mates

[c.j.d.]

Holy fucking brilliant.  That looks fucking awesome - I have just been made very excited!  Cheers for the info guys - I'll let you know how it goes.  Oh dear, I am stuck in work obsessing now (again) :D!

I like the little kid walking round and round in circles -

Looks like autism. Getting young daughter to spot you looks a bit marginal mind.

[andy popp]

I know, she wouldn't be much use in Yorkshire would she

[Nibile]

hmmm,
grab mono, cut loose, paste feet, grab other mono, cut loose, paste feet, grab mono, cut loose...
not going there.

on the subject of daughter spotting.
on my return to climbing a few years ago,which was because said daughter kept nattering to go to the wall.i tried to get her to spot me only once.i gave her strict instructions what to do.but as soon as i left the ground she went and sat on a near by boulder but made the helpful comment as crumped in to the ground missing the mat."are'nt you supposed to land on the mat dad".
we were in yorkshire as well.kids these days no sense of tradition or history.

Can't believe no-one has responded to my deliberate provocation. I'm trying to get smote, even bad karma has to be better than no karma at all. On which, how do I smite people - wannaclimb8a probably deserves one for the user name alone

[Falling Down]

I just smited you.... the trouble is Andy.. you've got far too much good karma in the bank.

[andy popp]

Ooh, I've been smote loads now. Falling Down, where's that quote from? Its not from me. And how do I get other people?

[Falling Down]

I just can't use the forum editor properly....

On which, how do I smite people

after 50 posts you'll be able to.

andi e
+7/-51 i'm shocked at this.who could possibly be drunk/drugged enough to give you possitive karma

[andy_e]

I'm astounded too... I was surprised when I got one! I think it must be people pitying me and giving me good karma...

[Jim]

there is only one person thet 'pity's the fool' and he wears lots of gold jewelry

[a dense loner]

wtf is smiting? spoke to godskins a few years ago about eaux clares, that domain doesn't just fall to greg and nige and he said the bouldering was quality. tho i strongly suspect that anywhere would be having to climb where he does
