whats the point? andy tells him where all the holds are.

dobbin · January 05, 2007, 08:01:02 pm

Rather than trying a problem you can do blindfold, why not go and do something hard with your eyes open? Fucking hell, it would be great to be full time. Whats next? Roller skates and boxing gloves?

Tigre et Dragon looks amazing!!

Indeed, although IMO Appartenance looks even better, boulder perfection almost!

He was probably warming up.

U allowed to start Berezina with a jump?? Is that accepted dans le foret??

Bonjoy · January 06, 2007, 06:05:08 pm

No, it misses out the crux (for me anyway)

It misses out the crux for everyone. The moves after the first are piss. The first time I stuck that first move I did the problem.

You hit the nail on the head, he was warming up and having a bit of fun with some mates.

Is that allowed Dobbin? Or should he be more professional and not partake in a bit of FUN!

I thought that was why we all climbed or is it only to tick numbers?

I am sure you have climbed in the forest enough to know that local rules are that anything goes when it comes to getting started.
Have you done L'aerodynamite without the jump from the deck????

are you fucking serious?? are you telling me i can go over to france again and have a running jump at the top of all the problems i cant do to skip out all the hard moves? booking my boat now mate.

Monolith · January 06, 2007, 11:25:05 pm

Have to second that, otherwise what's the point in grading? Climbings all about the search for big numbers baby, fuck having fun.

unclesomebody · January 06, 2007, 11:27:50 pm

Thank you Beofan for using this

to dig yourself into this

and showing yourself to be a

dave · January 06, 2007, 11:59:41 pm

fuck why bother jumpstarting at all - theres a path round the back mate.

jesus fucking help us.

irish si · January 07, 2007, 12:14:53 am

Whats vickers doing there?

Darren S · January 07, 2007, 08:44:05 am

Its only because I am jealous of the French as I can't jump.

Maybe thats why it took me two goes to do Berezina all those years ago.

Gosh, I wish I was as good as you.

Darren S · January 07, 2007, 08:20:11 pm

You probably are as good as, if not better than, me.

I am just a punter who got lucky.

Jim · January 07, 2007, 09:49:48 pm

the 7+8 guide stipulates the grade is given from a standing or sitting start unless otherwise stated. so everyone who has got carnage ticked from jump start can untick it. ha. (only jealous cos I ain't done it yet. the crimp is so minging)

tomas willenlog has done aerodynamiteee without jump start so is possible for those in the 28 foot tall catogry. get to it you giants

ps
dobbin is my hero and I will not hear another bad word said against him, so shut it you slags
(afterall, he is just a punter and needs all the confidence he can get)

unclesomebody · January 07, 2007, 09:57:52 pm

The sitstart to aerodynamite is not limited to absolute giants. I would wager most people can reach between the holds, but it is actually hard. It's been repeated anyway...

Dobbin, you are a beast. Don't listen to these fools. It's all about the chips and peas.

Jim · January 07, 2007, 10:01:26 pm

I'll wager its a lot easier for giants tho

Actually the Kimberley hole was dug with picks and shovels. But it took a lot of people a lot of time and it did give up a lot of diamonds.

And no nuggets.

Just for the record, the problem at cuvier is called neverland, NOT never never land which is an unkle album. Suprised to see how stroppy he was when he fell off...

maybe neverland is 8a and never never land is 88a...
