The lower tier at Bosigran has been my quarry this year, V Highball and little in the way of information, im guessing lots of unclimbed hard stuff, could some locals come through with some info? *** star area, one 18 move long rising traverse with a 6B dyno finnish at around 20ft...
Ps, what is the name and numbers of the mantle arete (V Difficult) at the aretes boulder at Carn Brea?
I can not do the start, very tricky mantle, the slabby arete above is nice hugging and allows you to scope the slab to the lft... the start to this seems slightly impossible, please do not tell me this goes at V6/7, or I will commit homicide...
I down climbed the arete, to assume the situation you would be in if you achieved the start... I fell down the last 2", that's the dynamicky bit you mention.
... did i meet you at Carn Brea durring the second ascent of that Snoopy Problem (or the one to the rt?)
...Very hard to find topos on stuff though!!
Quote from: Idol eyes on October 04, 2007, 06:36:31 pmAre the Dartmoor/Bodmin Moor conditions in around the next month, and then through the winter, or does it only lend itself to the summer months (absolutly frothing for it!!!),Conditions are normally good in the autumn on the moors. Although you need the weather to be clear. If there is any hint of cloud or rain it usually gravitates towards the moors. The beauty of this part of the world is that if you have rubbish conditions on the moors, it can quite often be good on the coast and vice versa. Rain can blow over the coast and stack up on the moor or when it's gloomy and grim on the coast the moor can be in full sunshine.... Tend to get pockets of good weather.. eg. Chudleigh is quite often in the 'rain shadow' of Dartmoor and can be dry when it's grim up there. Summer can be shocking (ie. bad) for granite bouldering, soapy, sweaty, greasy crystals, soft skin, sharp rock, bad combination on the whole!QuoteBoomerang ‘Proper Jawb!’ well done to you and Mike. Unfortunately Beachball at Godrevy is a bit of a non-problem, I’d flashed it before I was told the rules!Cheers baeee! Booma' is definately a very good and fun problem... I think Mike used a heelhook on said big hold and thus didn't follow the rules. That'll teach him to have good footwork!! Definately a bit of a non-problem imo!
