Good work on the sit down to Submarine too.

Greg contacted me earlier to say he had also repeated Anesthesia today, presumably after work. MONSTER! Nice one word. 8b legend

awesome greg

Wow, Excellent effort.  Nice one Greg.   

Can we have video footage for a beta comparison please?  Then we can compare the Gaskins, Parry and Chapman methods and Nigel can re-write his long in-depth comparative essay (maybe as a really interesting and accessible article for Climb magazine ).

More like keen local siege's the living daylights out of a problem that suits him and his 15minutes from his house.

Tried Gaz's sequence which seemed just as hard as sticking to the lip, therefore I stuck to my old tried and tested sequence. Did the problem from a couple of moves in about 2 years ago and at the time (despite being able to do the first moves) I didn't think I'd  be able to link the first bit into the rest of the traverse, as I found it pretty awkward... despite Gaz making this bit look about 4c! Went back for another blast a week or so ago and noticed a hold I hadn't previously used right on the lip and directly above the first big foot hold in the roof,  I could get to this relatively easily after the first couple of moves and it made it much less awkward getting into the section I'd previously done - ironically it doesn't look (from the vids) like Gaz used this "new" hold.

Don't be expecting a send of Isla any time soon I can barely pull on.

This is the video of the shortened version I did a couple of years back, it highlights the different sequences for the central section...

Nice one Greg

That's the sort of shit that would get me buying the mags again!

Easter Holidays

Just a quick mail to keep you up to date with my recent climbing news. I'm currently on Easter holidays and I have been keen to get stuck in to some projects. I managed a two session ascent of Anesthesia 8b at Woodwell in the South Lakes, I think this was the fourth ascent? I also managed Tsunami 8a at Rubicon and after ten years...Powerband 7c??!! at Raven Tor, utterly desperate. I'm keen for more limestone in the Peak and I'll keep you posted.


anathesia a trade problem? effort katz

Some real proper stuff going on out there.

Gaz just watched some of those vids. Control & power, you look super smooth sir. That move on Isla looks a bit juicy eh?

With masters Katz/Earl/MacLeod, the young Mr Pearson & whippersnapper Tyler all out there and all very much all on fire. 

Keep up the good work lads........truly inspirational stuff.

[Adam Lincoln]

Both upped the pace recently, lets hope they keep getting better and better!
