Who was the DFBWGC attempting BP?

 :kiss2:

Do you mean to say it was you?! Aren't you a boy? I demand pictures in the DFBWGC thread.

The only solution being for Tom to post some hot pics of himself for Will's benefit.

I did The Terrace today! My first 7c+! Well psyched! Missed out 7c too! (Unless you think The Terrace is 7c, I clearly have no grounds for comparison!)

Did it twice actually cos I thought I dabbed the floor the first time.

I hear there is a SlabGeniusTM, nay SlabGod, that would walk up to said problem and flash it onsight, ground up and with padding.  He's squeeking his boots as we speak.

Unfortunately he's busy on Friday.

Cool whip?

Great work UTG!! :thumbsup:

I saw chalk on it t'other day and the holds look very small. I know Andy Swann (and others) had tried it a long time ago and he sure ain't no punter! I'd be keen for a go soon but I'm trying to avoid the cliff at the mo. Where you climbing at the weekend - Slipstones?

How far right of pistol whip is it? Is it the shortish wall you pointed out when we were there?

I think I did point it out to you Adam, though it doesn't feel too short. I still can't walk having turned my ankle on it. I'll pop a failure clip on the cliff thread at some point to illustrate.

not normally one to brag, but I did The Anchor at Brimham today with the pre-requisite "nil point" rolling over sideways top-out. lush!

Good effort both of you. I still need to do the anchor, I might employ some sort of dyno-belly-flop...

I thought I was going to have to dredge this thread up from the past, however it would seem others have found success also. Anyway....

A
FUCKING
ENORMOUS

YYFY

As today I managed to grunt my way up Iron Man at Trowbarrow.
This is extremely pleasing for several reasons, including, but not limited to:
1) It was on my revised aims for 2008 ticklist and that deadline was looming
2) It is the very definition of the type of problem I would previously never have even tried, it being steep and made entirely of limestone
3) It is a really good problem, really good (nice one Greg).


Oh and yeah did I mention it's
