Went to GC on Saturday, superb.

After ticking the classics I had a gander at the boulders over on the N.E. side of the tor and found this prow:

I'm pretty sure that, despite the cleaning I needed to do, it has been climbed before, but maybe not from a sitter because I pulled an obvious flake off before climbing it. Can anyone enlighten me?
Anyhows, I think its a good problem regardless.

is not a link to an uploaded image. Looks like it is still on your computer, on your G: drive? You have to upload it to something like Flickr etc before you link to it.

Thanks for enlightening an uber-technophobe people, I now know:

What Flickr is
That I can't post a photo directly from my computer
That my photos are too big to put on Flickr
That I need to download some free software to shrink them...know of any good ones ?

I'll get there.

Paul, ta, but no worries - it was just an idle wondering really

You do not need fancy pants software to resize snaps:  control R is enough.

Get and install this. Then right click on the picture (or selected batch of pictures) you want to resize. Easy.

Alternatively 'Flickr Uploadr' will also resize images for you before you upload them. Also free and available from Flickr upload tools.

Yey! Well done Danny, you got there in the end! Nice shot to kick things off with. If you adjusted the horizon it's even more impressive, but that is lesson 2,  ;)

Went up to Goldsborough last week did some good problems. Nice place

Did a few good low ball little problems on the north side they`ve probably have been done before but did require quite a bit of cleaning

 Is there a decent topo to the bouldering here?

Four photos on here    the first four  ;)
