Pete Robins getting stuck into Rowan

its just too horrific for words

Pete wants to call this level: The Kennels, so expect some more doggy orientated puns.

Lots of good stuff going off in the quarries and it all looks excellent.

As a side note perhaps there should be a "News" subsection within the "Chuffing" area of the site?

[GCW]

Greg, what's wrong with just having one "News" section?  Seem more sensible than having seperate "Chuffing News", "Bouldering News", "Access News", "Other News" sections.   
I may be wrong (wouldn't be the first- or last- time).

[Greg C]

Whilst I don't have a problem with a Chuffing area this site is called UKBouldering.com and therefore I don't see a problem with just reporting routes news within the Chuffing area? I don't get your point about ending up with loads of separate sections. There's only ever going to information regarding bouldering or routes (regardless of sub-categories such as access etc.) thus no more than two sections would ever be required.

[GCW]

True.  I get your point of separating the chuffing more, and i agree with that.  I must admit I hadn't considered putting everything into the 2 camps, I thought you wanted to separate News into sections.  I'll read (and digest) more closely next time

I may be wrong (wouldn't be the first- or last- time).

Yup, I was right about that one 

[Fiend]

Good stuff! Is that the same Jack who used to live near Heppy??

I'm happy having routes news on here too.

Good Effort Jack. 

Seen him about the Beaon over the winter months, seemed like a very talented guy then too.

He should be dead proud.

[Bowie]

good effort. i remember being on this with Jerry years ago and we got spanked. great great route.

[Pantontino]

To be fair to yourself and Jerry, I was under the impression that the crack was originally tried direct - thus the '8c crack' moniker. Probably 7c+ the way Jack has done it.
