OK so it's not in the same league as winning at Arco or repeating Realization but got a couple of good new lines from Lakeland...

There is a very poor video of Weston's Wall here: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=LakesBloc

I've noticed this and came to the conclusion that they are the same.  Good problem on fine rock if you keep left of the good holds.  I found the hard move to be towards the top and it provided a few shin flexing falls until I dragged myself up through the mud at the top.

That all sounds about right, particularly the funny undercut business.  Kinda small and pointing the wrong way if I remember correctly.  The last move just involved a long stretch and a high left foot on an edge that broke as I reached the top break.  Before I get told off for knackering the problem, I repeated it straight away using the now smaller foot edge!   ::)

I'll e-mail you my password and you can then post on my behalf.  If you could take over my share of the punning and tangentalising on this site it would save me time that I could spend actually working or doing other stuff.

Had a cheaky peak at westons wall the other day, was just a bit grim to hold the top crimp but its a fine addition to the buttress, old school.
