God I love to see failure....

That's quality. Complete beasting let down by shocking technique. Beasting and persistence always wins eventually.

Duma · March 12, 2015, 07:28:22 pm

Wrong thread! Quality. This is the original finish isn't it? How many repeats like this? looks way harder than left.

a dense loner · March 12, 2015, 07:45:26 pm

To be fair Micky did the left finish after doing the right. He said the right was one hard ish shit move and the left was a fair few great sloper moves that were tricky but not as hard. Dai built a replica of the left finish and it took him 3 trips, so not too easy. It's had loads of repeats.

Ha ha wish I could wad that guy. I always think it's not a proper seige unless you have backwards sessions. Good psyche.

Gotta love the guy's persistence. But......FUCK ME, all that buildup of him repeatedly failing and they go and totally blow it by flashing up the fucking problem name as he pulls on, then surprise surprise he does it. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE FUCKING PEOPLE? It's like flashing up "Darth Vader is Luke's Dad" on screen 30seconds before the big reveal in Empire Strikes Back. Fucks sake.

One day some wad's going to post up a vid of Gioia or some bollocks and it'll be 6 minutes of almost doing it... then it ends with no send.

What do you want, a twist in the story? Turns out Nils is a ghost all along

a dense loner · March 12, 2015, 08:47:13 pm

Well fuck me

I guess most climbers don't have George Lucas's cinematic instincts

Just a lack of a massive spoiler just as we get to the vinegar strokes would do.

Not quite Gioia and not a wad, but......

I take it that's a compliment Fiend

Some new local stuff we put up last week. It was alot colder than it looked, 0 to -2 C

Kingy · March 16, 2015, 05:08:25 pm

Some Dartmoor problems from the weekend

Duma · March 16, 2015, 10:41:33 pm

How tall are you Ted? Is sideshow feasible for non-giants? Top stuff anyway, looks like a productive weekend!

a dense loner · March 17, 2015, 09:27:07 am

Think Simpson but just a bit taller than Ru without the good living

Stu Littlefair · March 17, 2015, 12:06:52 pm

I recgonise all the words there, but the whole sentence means nothing to me.

a dense loner · March 17, 2015, 12:25:54 pm

True, what I meant was picture Simpsons face on Ru's body, only Ru's slightly taller now and his gut has vanished. Like some horrible griffin like creature on roids. Not Kingy, who looks half normal, but the morphing of the parts that become Kingy. Sleepless nights indeed

Duma · March 17, 2015, 12:28:51 pm

So not tall then.

Half normal, I'll take that as a compliment

I am 5' 10" with no ape index and I was able to reach the lip hold with my heel still cammed in the back of the roof. Its a bit harder for shorties cos you would have to dyno for the lip hold while your heel released from the cam but it would only be a little pop and to be honest you're so stretched out with your foot cammed in above your head the release is pretty violent anyway. Alex Waterhouse did it the shorties way (see this vid). An excellent problem, opinions on the grade vary between 7C and 8A. (I'm taking 8A and running for the hills

) Ellis reckons its 8A although others differ. A top problem!

Duma asked about Sideshow, not Jungle VIP...

Kingy · March 17, 2015, 06:00:59 pm

Oh sorry, Sideshow will be utterly desparate for anybody less than 6' 3" I reckon, unfortunately there is an albatross like span at the start but there may be scope for shorter climbers for climbing up into the flat undercut from directly below like in the last problem on my video and then somehow desparately reaching leftwards to the patchy arete, I reckon we are talking in the V11+ ballpark though. Makes VIP look like a path!

a dense loner · March 17, 2015, 09:00:21 pm

That's the first time I've seen jungle VIP from that angle, really good looking prob!
