[Somebody's Fool]

Well I've just been to Nesscliffe to fly tip some soil and it's horizontal sleet down there now.  It would definitely have been a wasted drive had we gone down today. 

I've shattered four spades on underlying permafrost today.

[Johnny Brown]

Nevermind, went Adder hunting instead, but what with the uninterrupted sunshine it was too hot. Luckily I found a Toad instead which saved the day from being a waste.

Are you up for next thursday instead then, Fool? Should be a few more too, unless they all decide Rubicon or holes are more tempting again...

[Mark Lloyd]

Luckily I found a Toad instead

Did you lick it ?
Adder hunting sounds like a dangerous pursuit, are you the new Steve Irwin ?

[Johnny Brown]

Just realised that no man alive has knowingly beheld both features, soz.

No longer! As of yesterday these two great spheres of comprehension were brought together, leaving the bold men involved quite giddy with knowledge gained.

Verdict on Terminator/ Easter Edge/ L'Angle Shropfait was good. Much better than Houdini's Nokia derived '6', in fact a good '8', or 7a+ in francs.
The flakes and hanging groove to the left is extremely good too, same grade. Rock quality generally is far better than I remembered, and the development remains in its infancy.

i need to relive my past and get this guide and get out there.... still available in V12??? i'll get on the blower tomorrow

[cofe]

my eyes could handle just the sight of both. l'angle shropfait. c'est formidable.

[Bonjoy]

Did you take any pictures stood a bit further from the rock, so I can see what I missed out on?

[cofe]

does a man with a goose in his yard eat ham?

yes.

they're at home.

johnny nesscliffe might post one of his up though.

[Bonjoy]

Did you prepare for climbing by drinking a pint of Nesquik?

[cofe]

i prepared for climbing by drinking a pint of nesquik powder.

i have to say it left me thirsty.

goosebollocks aside. the problems this bit of rock offers up are excellent - i'd go so far as to say the arete is one of the top problems in the country. shoot me down.

[Obi-Wan is lost...]

i'd go so far as to say the arete is one of the top problems in the country.

  I'm guessing you did it then.

Extra 'r' may have crept in there word.

Sufficiently good, though, to turn Nige

I'm on a rest day, me, definitely not climbing, oh no, not even brought boots, just having a look around, that's enough for me, saving myself for staminaband see

into

c'mon, guys, who's got spare boots? Please! Too big? No matter, I'll wear all our socks, just let me on the rock.

in about a minute.

John Cooper Coefield swoons flat at the sight:

Nige on the equally good groove:

Can any Shropshire peeps confirm this isn't a new problem? Not in the guide though the probs either side are.

[Somebody's Fool]

Has Nige been to see Nicky Clarke?  Or was the culprit more scouse?

I live at Grinshill and to my knowledge it's a new problem, unless the Cathcatrs have done it in the last few days. Did you do anything else at Grinshill? Church Quarry?

[Johnny Brown]

Good lurking! What a nice place to live! Cofe is from Barnsley, I don't think he'd ever seen somewhere so english.

Church Quarry, aka Craig y Shortridge, we had a brief look, I see the victorian glass situation hasn't improved. To be honest it was too hot to climb really. The Prow was in the shade, so we went there, amazed at the general potential though.

I'd better come up with a name if its a new prob then! Its very good, similar standard to the arete. Font 7a/ 7a+?

[Jim]

Yo Johhny, give me the low down. looking for somewhere to go on thursday with worm (not kissing behind the bike sheds - climbing).
Is it any good, worth going, easy to get to, distance etc.....
Tell me everything

[Somebody's Fool]

easy to get to, distance etc.....

Someone should make a POI list of every bouldering venue in the country. Then people wouldn't have to waste their time asking such questions.

[Jim]

Who ever did that would be a genius!
you about thursday Fool?

[GCW]

Nige on the equally good groove:

Obviously an easy problem as he didn't bother tying up his laces.

Nice looking stuff guys.

[dave]

why has nice replaced his mouth with a lady's front-arse?

[Jim]

front-bum face nige. you know him by another name?

[cofe]

Obviously an easy problem as he didn't bother tying up cofe's laces.
