on the other channel someone has ticked it on 9/8/10 apparently but they are set as 'hidden'.

Let me guess, marked down as "TR, Dnf"?

Oh right, well it looked quite far. Totally cut loose from the rock between holds. I thought it was actully a very gd dyno. I think the crimp is essential to stick the swing, but as distance goes do we have an idea?

its not far, I can span between the two holds, but its a sidways dyno and the crux is holding the hold because its rubbish, dont bother

Obviously not or else i wouldnt have commented on it. It just says 'sent'.

I thought someone would have heard about it if it had got a second ascent? I was down there trying it on the 7th! Bugger!

Just what i thought! although if they are set as hidden it could just be a modest person who has done it and uses ukc just as a record for himself. I'll probably see Chris on wednesday so i'll ask if he knows anything about this.

Wonder if the same 'hidden' who has done the darkside at back bowden

I'm sure if it's been done we'll find out who's done it.............

[andy_e]

It was Medwards on a family holiday. He thought it E13 6c though.

[willackers]

2nd ascent?

My mate Tom asked Springer and he seems to think so.

Get in! 

[Johnny Brown]

Fuckin' hell Will, good effort!!  How long did it take you? Looked like you could have gone further too. You should get yourself over to Wimberry.

[willackers]

Cheers man.

3rd go, second session. Under 20 attempts I reckon.

Psyched! 

[Jim]

What Johnny said 

[richieb]

Yep thats a great effort. I was totally gob smacked by catapult when I first saw it in the flesh. Nice one.   

[SA Chris]

As said elsewhere Will, nice one.

(and nice one you too richie).

[willackers]

Cheers guys, I'm well happy!

I might have to make a trip to Wimberry in the winter for some more jumping around! 

Does anyone know of it having another ascent? Is the UKC log a load of bull? 

[Paul B]

I would take the UKC log with a large pinch of salt...

[dave]

Nice one word. Catapult is one of the most ridicolous looking things I've ever seen. It looks about 8d. For that reason alone I bet its had fuckall repeats, difficulty of climbing notwithstanding.

[Baldy]

Cheers guys, I'm well happy

That's funny, you sounded a little glum in the video...


You made it look so easy though, where is the difficulty?
Length?
Holds?
Both?

[Paul B]

aren't you all spelling it wrong? I could swear the first reports had it as Caterpult but that might just be me 

Edit, the right hand is in a shit shallow mono, the left hand is on an undercut. Its fucking miles too.

[dave]

i thought the left hand was a juggy rugosity thing? The mono is pretty shallow and slopey, but i suppose the footholds are good/big.

According to UKC log book it's Catapult, according to Springers video it's Caterpult, hmmmmm 


The Mono is piss poor and it's really hard to get your feet up as well, plus it's miles!

[Paul B]

Dave - Juggy, rugositys can't also be undercuts? 

[willackers]

Dave - Juggy, rugositys can't also be undercuts? 

It's a bit of both..........

[dave]

I never said it wasn't an undercut....
