greg-thought return of the fly had had a repeat, don't know why, i mean it's not that hard is it, if you know what i mean? brilliant looking problem. in fact i may have even thought you did it which blows that theory

i like rumours they go into my diary for me to muse over when i'm old

steady on panto,
i was asking if you guys had confirmation if it had been repeated.
i'm not trying to cause any problems.
cypher is a very hard and brilliant problem and just wondered if it had been repeated...
no offence intended for dunning or clifford..

my route northern comfort above valkyrie has never been repeated, and it's not shit

I tried this several times a while back and took some decent falls, never did get the moves at the top, how close to the arete were you?

Read an old-ish OTE at the wall this week, had a report about Pseudonym direct @ Black Rocks (can't remember the name of the actual route)...is that a contender?

On a bouldering flava, anyone repeated Brad Pit SS yet?

The Devil is in the Detail, E7 7A. Tom Briggs. A grand effort, me and JD used to try it and it really is a good line and worth a repeat,
ss Brad pit is a pile...

I can't believe no-one's done this.  The one on the right of the block with chipped jugs?  It's not last great problem difficulty is it?

Er, no. This is to the left, and is desperate, some contoversy over its F.A. The wall to the left again is one for the un climbed line file.
Somone introduce Keenus to this whilst he is still fly, again it was a big johnny/little johnny inquiry, we failed...

Don't look at me...I just suggested it!

From what I read it seems pretty cool - 7a dyno to a pocket, then a fall-offable 6b move to the top, is that right? Ohh, that sounds just perfect for me  :-\

pat the make it slappy thing was a mistake. It climbed the arete right of velvet silence on the right, and the mistake about it being the other arete is where the controversy came from. Adam long and Ben Bransby have both climbed the proper one i think.

And sloper, i slapped up to the notch on the arete on Northern C, then climbed up using a flake to the right.

Parochial question but did anone do Ecky Thump? Anyway, there must be loads more on grit alone; MaDMAn on Wimberry perhaps - the living end I thought.

Cobalt Dream - Huge ever expanding roof crack @ Drws Nodded, Ogwen.  E5 (If you insist!  More like 7+) seen off big George.  According to Shorter (the FA-ist w/JR): The dream is nothing, nothing to the cracks I've done in Squamish.

A blinding crag full of killer lines.  How old is Cobalt Dream?  30 years? Can someone check the guide I'm without one here.
