Just got text of James saying he'd done Leo's route Trauma on Dinas Mot. E9 7a
not bad for an ex-youth.
effort word

[r-man]

Nice one. Is this the first repeat?

Found a photo of Leo on the FA.

[north_country_boy]

Bon Effort, awesome line! 

[Fiend]

Keenus doing the string thing, good stuff.

[Pantontino]

A fantastic effort on a truly astounding line! Just spoke to him on the phone; he was understandably made up. Said it was filmed by the Hotaches crew - can't wait to see that footage.

Nice to see the close monitoring eliminates the usual annoyance of typoypoopoos.

Effort Darsey, watch out for those ladyboys out there!

I think he's safer with them than near you after watching your recent crotch fetish video a.k.a Hueco... 

Nice one james

[Will Hunt]

The boy is unstoppable. 

I love the understatement in the quote "I had to try hard" in the UKC report. What can he do where hes not trying hard?!

[Greg C]

Nice! That picture of Leo is superb.

[Pantontino]

You're not wrong Greg. I'd say it is the defining image of the late 90s N Wales scene. R-man should really have mentioned that it was Ray Wood who took it (credit where it is due 'n' all that).

[grimer]

I think it's one of Ray's favourite photographs, too.

[(woz)]

I've had that poster on my wall since I was 15ish! I think it came with an old OTE.

[dave]

it had a photo of patch on something E4 at griben facet on the back.

[(woz)]

Thats the one. Was a good photo, but couldn't compete with t'other side.

[Bonjoy]

Said photo has been hanging on the wall in my cellar for a few years now too. Great minds....

[a dense loner]

genius, a thread that starts off with an important repeat and descends into who's got posters of leo, and where they're hanging

[PATRuL]

Yes quite its traumatic
 

[Bubba]

It makes me shit it just looking at it - effort James.
