Ahem, sorry to be an uber pedant but the phrase is well known in connection with whisky, never heard it mentioned with regard to cognac / armagnac.

Ahem, term is used in wine making re evaporation from oak barrels. Or after distillation in general.  :alky:

Well impressive slabclimbing. :great: And I am never going to take a premeditated fall from the top of an 8 meter route on to a few crashpads that's for sure. I fell from just short of the 7 meter mark onto two crashpads once and that hurt enough, thank you.

Groundfalls are a bit random. I once fell 9 meters to the ground, no pads, fucked my kneecap and had some pain on and off for a couple of months but was basically OK, didn't even go to the hospital. On the other hand, last autumn, I fell completely out of control in the gym, from 4-5 m perhaps, landed on the edge of the gym mattress, completely torn a ligament in the ankle and got partial ruptures on a bunch of them, will never regain full straight in the foot.

But if the route name was referring to wine or brandy/cognac, then the thread title would be "La Part d'Ange ground up" shirley?

I think I'm beyond pedantry now... :-[

"Velvet Silence ain't that small either.  Didn't the Dawes on-sight it, or is my memory going?"

I onsighted velvet silence in about '93. It was my first E6. Cheers.

Well done, both for the on-sight and posting something that is on-topic!!!!
