I thought it was too hot up the Pass this evening, but then again I'm only happy if it takes at least an hour to warm up, so it's probably best to ignore my witterings. Streaky was out and about so it must be summer - he only leaves the climbing wall if the temperatures reach near tropical levels.

It looks a bit damp this afternoon, but the forecast is for it to improve.

Have any of you done Wonderful World of Walt Disney in the quarries. Adam and Robins recommended it, but when people are that good it's worth checking out with mortals (Pete was suggesting I did Death Trap Direct as a good E5 one time. I've not done it, but I gather it's at the opposite end of the E5 scale from The Knock?)

I was on the fa of Wonderful World no less. I didn't fall off anywhere, put it that way. God knows if its E5 or not though. The leap across the groove (though escapable) is a brilliant laugh and not really hard, just a bit intimadating

well, these recommendatins are getting a bit more mortal, but certainly nowhere near my level. like have any e5 climbers done it?

ok, here's an easy one. Are the 1986 bolts or new bolts (photos on NWB have only served to reinforce my worst paranoias).

C'mon Grimer, sometimes you've just got to man up for these things. Enough beta! Get to it!
Surely after The Pit and The Pendulum you're invincible on E5s?
