The term "Millstone Grit" is an informal description of Namurian, coarse, poorly-sorted, deltaic, feldspar-rich sandstones found in the UK which have been previously economically exploited for use in milling. "Gritstone" is similarly an informal description of coarse sandstones applied (usually by climbers) to similar rock types all around the world. Therefore, technically, it isn't grit, but neither is Stanage, Brimham, Almscliff, Caley, Burbage, Cratcliffe, Shaftoe, Golsborough, Earl, Thorn...

Terminology aside, is there anything geologically unique about the uk coarse sandstones, or are all coarse sandstones pretty similar?

Nothing whatsoever. I've heard of grit-like rocks in New Zealand and France too I'm sure, so they're not rare. They're fairly typical as deltaic sandstones with granitic origin.

After years of thinking "There's a sitter", "There's no sitter", going there, trying the move, not leaving the ground, going back again, breaking a hold, etc. etc., today I finished it.

I remember when you boys could climb.
You've all got heavy thighs now.
Except Dave, he's just shit.

[a dense loner]

I was thinking exactly that. This vid should serve as a lesson to younger members of the site what can happen if u stop climbing n take up cycling, apart from the roid rage that comes upon dave every now n then

Cofe - please don't film me in the future unless I'm wearing a hat (or a wig)

[Baldy]

I humbly offer up my film effort from Rocklands,

It contains some waddage from Barnaby Ventham if you are that way inclined.



Critique welcome, it is my first attempt at making something a bit longer so any knowledge is appreciated.

[andyd]

Liked it. Good job

I think you just have to delete the /m from the middle of the address (presume it stands for "mobile"

Nice one. I fucking love that Wankelmut track, listened to it pretty much every day of my recent trip to Loup whilst driving to the crag or warming up.
