tyler did the automator 8B in 5 tries. fucking hell. couldnt say it didnt suit him thought, bunched and crimpy.

must be easier than nice one john stand up in the ogwen cause he gave up on that in 5 tries.

fuck yeah.

[Greg C]

Tell me again, how did he get on at the Bowderstone? 

[Stubbs]

His scorecard seems to suggest that he only did Innaudeble Vaudeville - strange choice 

[a dense loner]

horses for courses, what he's good at his scorecard speaks for itself. actually shit myself the first time i heard it. nice one ty

[Moo]

to be fair though the conditions were awful at the stone when he was there grease city.

[ferret]

good positive responses

[fatneck]

That's seriously, seriously impressive....

[irish si]

he is on fire.... im looking forward to joining him in few weeks. to watch if nothing else....

[Stubbs]

Sorry, forgot to add that 8B fifth go is uberwaddage. There's a few Graham 8b+'s around that area to isn't there? Hope he turns his hand to one of those.

[Greg C]

I was only yanking Moorish's chain. The average temp in the Rocky Mountains at present is 82 degrees, sounds pretty greasy to me?

[irish si]

ha ha, dont think so gregor, not considering the boulders are at 12 000 ft! clear, high pressure, crisp, DRY, perfect. well better than woodwell last weekend.

[Doylo]

Tyler is a strange climber, he seems to piss the majority of stuff above 8a yet below that he oftens finds stuff nails. Whisky Bitch on pil box was a right struggle! He also seems to perform better on world class problems which is a good thing i spose. I reckon we'll all be dismayed by his latest tick list from the states! Go Ty

[irish si]

I think it has a lot to do with syke.  if he is not that arsed then he doesnt perform.  On world class problems with little holds he gets so syked that he does them very quickly. 

[StuM]

but shouldn't he be in school? 

hope i'm as stong as him when i'm 15...

Absolutely insane problem. How many repeats has this had? Good effort by mr.landman if he's knocked that one off.

[sasscotty]

any cool climbing sites a should check out an stuff like that?

my bad si, was half concentrating and dont know why for a second I thought Gaskins project on pill box wall was called whisky bitch and how I got confused between the two!

incidentally, whilst on the subject of pill box, has anyone attempted any wild link-ups on it?

[irish si]

Doylo is close to the last big linkup.  cool climbing actually. hard 8a or something.

[dobbin]

were do you get all the latest info and stuff from because im a little behind.

you are on the best one. Si gets the info because he is a fully paid up member of the Landman pad carrying/fan club.

[chris]

that reminds me ben, your not fully paid up for carrying my pads around

[irish si]

yeah we will see who is carrying whos pads when i get to the park. 



by the looks of things he will have climbed everything so he fucking might as well carry my pads.

[dobbin]

when do you fly?

ha ha, no not even the young superstar that is Tyler Landman (no slouch in the crimping department!)could pull onto the Gaskins problem.He dismissed it as 8c. I can't believe he gave it V12/13! Its obscene, ridiclious, absurd!

[Monolith]

still think John Gaskins might be an alien with the looks to boot! I'm joking of course, that is a typically sterling effort from a top bloke. I hate the dismissive "its 8c" rubbish, strikes me as very American. If at first you don't succeed, then pronounce it harder than anything it doesn't take you five goes or more to do. There seems to be a new attitude in climbing that is coming forward, whereby this is fast becoming the case. Surely we reserve really big numbers for problems that require a lot of working and a really big effort. Or am I outdated!?
