Another Keen flash (Read 18459 times)

Well done that man - James, do you realize how much skin I left behind on Schule' before you flashed it? Funny that, I also went on Ganymede before you flashed that one aswell. Please can you stop stealing my power cells? Yes, I understand, they work better than old chalk particles, but you're making me look weak. Also, I happen to remember when you were nought but a youth hanging around Stanage a few years back, brushing holds for the 'A' team and falling off V5's - what the fuck have you been doing? Little bugger. Nice to catch up for five minutes in Chironico - if I had known what you were about to go off and do, I would have broken your little fingers.

Sissyfuss is the only one I've tried, to be honest if it was 7b+ I would like to think that I would have got up it!

Lager lager is nails. I think its getting a new (original/ unpublicised) name in the new guide which will please any who, like me, hated Lager, lager. We used to call it The Ramp.

Better name but doesn't sit as well with Underworld. Never mind. I like traditional names too.

andy popp · January 03, 2008, 07:32:15 pm

I do believe its geting the absolutely brilliant name of 'Dave's Groove.' I don't know how they come up with them. I should add this is Dave's name not Ste's. All or any of the above could be wrong.

What you on about, I nearly did this summer? when I get up there in good conditions it'll be piss

have you not seen the end of "...and the last crusade"?

chris · January 04, 2008, 03:13:33 pm

yeah its called the groove - as it was originally named. god knows who called it lager, lager, lager but it certainly wasn't dave.

Greg C · January 04, 2008, 04:22:33 pm

Personally I think it should remain as Lager Lager Lager, if only for historical reasons, lets face it everyones going to continue calling it Lager Lager Lager. "Dave's Groove", hmm, thats original. "The Groove" is at least a good traditional name for a super classic and stout test piece, but like I say why not leave it as is.

i'm not going to call it lager... it is a terrible name. so is dave's groove but it's his perogative

Well IAM going to call it Lager Lager Lager, so there

. I disagree that it's his pergoative (it has become a well established moniker), we're not talking about some shit line on a rhyolite boulder half way up Scafell - this is THE gritstone 7c. Are you really saying that if Ben Moon suddenly decided to change the name of Hubble everyone would think it was a fine? It's a poor precedent, in my lowly view... he could have at least changed it to a decent name.

Johnny Brown · January 04, 2008, 05:45:30 pm

You can be the only one then, I'll probably stick to calling it The Ramp, seeing as that is what it is. Have these fools ever seen a groove?

Just to reiterate, Lager, lager is the shittest name ever given to a problem, the sooner its forgotten the better.

Houdini · January 04, 2008, 05:49:06 pm

LL is a pants fanboy bullshit name

chris · January 04, 2008, 05:52:28 pm

I think i'll call any future problem anything i like then?!

Dave called it the groove, so its called the groove; as he did the first ascent. Lager, lager is a fully shit name for a top problem that follows an obvious natural feature.
