Plan D did look steadier that way, but too gripping for me, padded tree or no.

Iain's new one saw a lot of effort but no success. The move for the edge is hard if you can't reach off the heel-toe

cyclops at the back looks to be concealing something in his jacket - my suspicion is its actually two midgets, one sat on the other's shoulders.

Gardoms continues to give up quality new lines:

On the line of the edge directly above Bin Laden's Cave is a small quarried bay. This is forty yards or so before (N) of Undertakers buttress, where the edge is mostly a bouldery slope.

Another Green World takes the central line: a strenuous pull on with a sidepull flake gains a tenuous bridge; slap to the obvious sloper; hard to stick at 7a.


The sitter, whilst trivial to reach the starting handholds for the stand, makes the strenuous pull on much trickier; 7b.

Despite the name, its not that green. A pint to the man who can spot the link to my previous problem on the edge.

I saw that wall one time out taking pics for the Gardoms guide and wondered if it would go. There is also another little buttress left of My Squeezy Lemon Entry with no problems on it, and it looks very promising, a nice rampline on it, a lovely pocket and an arete. Here would be a chance for Idol Eyes to retro-claim it before a claim, maybe? Highball, but looks ok with pads.

They're both shit?

That indeed looks like a good find - respect to the seasoned gritstoners who realise ripe fruits can be had all year round...

No, NotMarkReeves, that's not the link nor the truth. Get back to your logging and blogging.

[dave]

I bet that sloper is hard to hang for an amputee.

[Somebody's Fool]

Quite. What I want to know though, is how did Idol Eyes know I've started working as a drilling engineer?

[Johnny Brown]

Don't let Garan or Lee hear you calling yourself an engineer; umbrage will be taken.

Still a pint going, its pretty simple if you know your music.

[Pantontino]

Eno.

Old Speckled Hen or Taylor's Landlord please (any chance of some dry roasted peanuts too?).

[cofe]

eno?

[uptown]

Eno?

[cofe]

damn you Sly Panting!

[uptown]

Hate it when that happens...

[cowboyhat]

Eno and Ron Rogers are both Old Salopians?

Maybe you'd have mentioned such illustrious alumni. So how is Eno connected to China etc?

[Pantontino]

Snooze, you loose fella! 

[cowboyhat]

BUT WHAT IS THE CONNECTION?

All you've said is Eno. Which isn't an answer.

[Johnny Brown]

You need to read more carefully Char.

China in your hands was not the last problem I did here.
It was Forward-thinking Sound Engineer, named in honour of the nameless hero who pushed 'record' whilst a Neil Young jam session for 'Like a Hurricane' was going particularly well, and the reason why the version that became definitive has no beginning.
Eno is, of course, another man to fit that description. And 'Another Green World' perhaps his best solo album.

Si, I owe you a pint.

[cowboyhat]

Bang to rights.


I have never heard of your problem 'Forward Thinking...'

Instead of spending ten minutes reading about various production credits I could have just written his name.

[Johnny Brown]

Which is what I suspect the others did...

[cofe]

i meant to write 'neo'. i thought they were matrix references.

[Somebody's Fool]

Is it Neo? From the Matrix?

[dave]

do people still climb at the matrix?
