Why haven't you all joined the Wiki anyway?
I want to start an eliminates page, but I'm not sure of the best format for it.
Adam, you should take your shiny new camera and get me some topo pics.
And if anybody sees Aaron bully him for his panorama pics of the crag that he's promised me.

Unfortunately didn't head down, all my friends pulled out of going!  Hopefully head down this weekend sometime (weather dependant) Can anyone recommend a few good v7's at CYL?

Big Marine used to be the classic V7. Though in the recent stone circles article, it seems they thought V8 was more appropriate. With the first move being harder now, i wouldn't argue.

Ah fair enough, i guess it might not be fair with me, since i can reach the first hold off the floor!...

The top move is what has me stumped, hopefully do it next time though. :D

Nice conditions tonight, crispy with a cool breeze blowing later on. Bend sloper felt in good nick. Somebody left their chalkbag at the left hand of the crag - wildcountry light green with a blue bit of rope to tie round the waist. It is hanging up on a jug in the warm up area.

The random was a Dr Craig something. I vaguely remember him and I think Ru knows him.

Craig Parnaby?  Climbed with him a bit in the mid 90's when he was at medical school, bold trad climber and very tenacious sport climber with lots of stamina so sounds about right.  Looked about 14.

That's right, the surname came to me this morning. Short, very strong, had a penchant for loud shirts.
