God you can tell you climb at the Brownstones, it seems to breed this sort of behaviour...

[r-man]

This from Beanie man... 

[Jim]

yes but he is correct

[GCW]

Which is worse?  A strange obsession with head-wear?  Or an interest to see what the maximum possible dyno-distance is?
Brownstones does create slightly obsessive behaviou I admit.

[Fiend]

I have bouldered at Brownstones, once...

[GCW]

That explains a lot.........

I think Chris Graham did a BIG dyno at Kylo in, called caterpult or something, its massive. Was a video of it on smart boys but not looked at it for a while.

On the dyno at the roaches... I've got a photo of myself on it, my right toe hooked (by accident, this is very dodgy beta if you plan to use it) on the starting handhold and my arms outstretched, I still didn’t reach the hold. Considering I'm 180cm tall and you can add an extra foot and a half say for how far I can reach above my head that makes it possibly 225cm hold to hold.  

[AndiT]

 :agree:Yeah, catapult looks amazing and seems to use that 2nd Gen idea. That must be one of the biggest anywhere.

Caterpult

There's a video on ukb somewhere, but the search function isn't working at the moment.

[Bonjoy]

Doesn't it use that mono out right, if so it's not that far distance wise compared to other dynos.

If it goes from that mono it isn't actually a looooong way between hand-holds.  Not disputing that it's nails though.

[GCW]

It either uses that mono or he's giving us the finger cos he's done it and we haven't  

[moose]

how about the Niche Dyno at Brimham for the list (V9/V10).  Its unlikely to be the longest but still worthy of note - especially as there's a video...

[GCW]

When Danny's got his hands on the target hold the starting hold is at knee level, or just above.  This would make it about 6' I guess (somewhere around 180cm).
What's the one at Kyloe out?  Called learning to fly or something like that?  How far is that?
How tall is Andy Higginson?  In the new Peak guide there's a photo of him on the Big Dyno (Roaches).  Looks about full reach from starting to finishing holds.  I'm 6'3" (190cm) and full stretch for me is 240cm (just under 8feet).  I guess that will be over 200cm easily and probably our current leader?
http://bleau.info/sablons/1460-1481.html  If anything this isn't as far as our Roaches challenger....

[r-man]

It's great to  see so much SCIENCE at work. 

Unless you were serious about JP being only 5ft, Solid Air looks a full stretch too. So that, the Roaches dyno, and Rainbow rocket seem like the top three.

Other noteworthies (though I suspect none of these are in the same leagure as the three above)
Greg's Dyno at Trowbarrow
Froggy Dick - http://bleau.info/isatis/8853.html
Smash - http://bleau.info/sabots/771.html  (why is there a video of a man doing this naked? why?)

[AndiT]

Can we include dyno's on routes too? Or would that need to be in the chuffin section.....

[Scouse D]

how big is Maurice Gibb?(the dyno not the sadly passed BeeGee)

[StuM]

Maurice Gibb is big, maybe in the same league as the roaches dyno but as its diagonal its hard to make a good guess, i'm sure its more than 2m handhold to handhold though. As a comparison I was nearly touching the finishing hold on MG (only tried it for one session), I can do the Roaches one fairly easily but i was probably a full foot short on Rainbow Rocket!

[Houdini]

The Clockface project, Rainbow Walls, Slate.  This is well over two metres.  I'm not sure if it ever been jumped.  It's there for the taking.

[moose]

if project are allowed... how about the "tank dyno" at Wimberry?

[monkey boy]

Froggy dick (7b) and smatch (7b) are both pretty big but not too hard. froggy dick is definately the harder of the two. Kangaroo city and mr. dynamite in font are both examples of dynos that you dont have to travel along way on for them to hard.
Niche dyno at brimham is good again but not too taxing. The distance on this isnt the problem its holding the top hold.
catarpult looks amazing but very hard, another one on the to do list.

Never been to Wimberry what is the project dyno like?

[andy_e]

Nails, green, the starting holds keep breaking and it's got poor footholds if i remember rightly. There's an animated gif of JB falling off it somewhere.

[GCW]

Kangaroo city and mr. dynamite in font are both examples of dynos that you dont have to travel along way on for them to hard.

Woah!!!  We're interested only in distance here.  Doesn't matter how hard a dyno is, only how far it is between holds.  It can be V6 but if it's 250cm between holds it wins!!!!

I can see I'll have to have a trip to the Roaches and Gibb Tor, with both my boots and tape measure.

[fatneck]

Don't think it's had a repeat yet and I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, but Owens "seven foot dyno" at Pex is around 213cm. BenF, we'll have to have a measuring sesh soon!!

[hongkongstuey]

old video of the big dyno for you:
