yeah its me "opening" a "bloc", as they say.

[Bubba]

Ah, that makes more sense - thought the wood in the background looked a bit odd for b.west

[SA Chris]

Dave are you sure you arent related to hongkongstuey Millis. There is a resemblance, but I guess you have more hair

[hongkongstuey]

but I guess you have more hair

watch it, we'll have less of that kind of comment

although looking at the photo i can kinda see where you're coming from with the resemblance thing

[hongkongstuey]

see, its not that much less hair!!



P.S. This piccie has gained me fame and notoriety in China by being published in a Shanghai Mag - wonder if i'll get recognised when i head there on me stag do!

looks like the right arete on the fish boulder at wimberry?

[dave]

Hey Stu, you're a damn handsome fella, now you come to mention it.  I bet those hong kong chicks love you long time. Lucky for us the receding hairline is the next big thing. Mark my words, everyone will have one, beckham, jordan, david sneddon, ja rule etc etc.

Yo paul you're on the money its the fish arete. The groove left of that is also superb. Bo.

Hey Stu, you're a damn handsome fella,

so i tell myself every morning!

I bet those hong kong chicks love you long time.

well, what can you do ...............          :drink:  :drink:  :drink:  :drink:

That arete is one of my favourite bits of Grit climbing ever - how hard would you say it is?

I first discovered it with Stu Watson, he thought it was 8a! I said 7b+?

[dave]

Are you on about the standing or sitter. I only did it from standing, flashed, thought about 7a max (probably less, like 6c?), but had been told 7a+. Easier if you're tall.

Only had 1 go at the sitter (was very warm) so coulnd't comment, but i heard it was recconed at 7b+. To be honest i don't think it really suits a sitter (not being undercut or anything), too awkward and undigified!

[paul hesketh]

the groove to the left is top quality...must be my favourite problem at wimberry...

anyone made any headway on the sitting start to the groove?

[dave]

Would that be starting where his left foot is? that would certainly be one of the best lines/problems around. Wish i had a photo of Winsome cos thats superb too.

[hongkongstuey]

[paul hesketh]

not that foothold dave

there is a pic of the groove on fish boulder at yorkshiregrit

normal standing start is excellent, sitting start would be fantastic...

[dobbin]

Yeah, I was on about the sitter. Its got to be tried as the moves up into the standing position are excellent, particularly the bit into the undercut smear - took me about a gazzilion goes mind, but well worth the skin expenditure.

[dave]

Been there and done that years ago mate, I'm well ahead of fashion me :

[hongkongstuey]

the view at dusk on the way down from an afternoons bouldering - bit different to the Peak or Yorkshire ain't it!

[dobbin]

It looks mental! so, where are we looking out at? (I mean cities...)

[hongkongstuey]

the bit furthest away is Hong Kong Island, the bit right in front of you is Tsing Yi island (nothing there except the residential blocks you can see) and the stuff on the left is a town called Kwai Chung - at the back of the Kowloon peninsula

basically its the view south from the dot at Tsuen Wan on the following map:
