Indeed, if anything a bit too cold as some of the holds felt glassy, but I'm not going to complain. The whole of the shelter stone was in the best condition I've ever seen. Every problem was dry. Get up there if you have things to tick.
Grit tomorrow hopefully.

[Strife]

I did my first V5 today - which is the kind of grade that most of you would probably use as a warm up, but it was quite a big achievement for me.
YYFY 

[SA Chris]

Good effort all round

[robertostallioni]

As today I managed to grunt my way up Iron Man at Trowbarrow.

Can we expect to see a GCWarner production soon? Or is the ascent going on the next BigUp Release with the 2008 American grit rampage?

[GCW]

Iron Man was an unwitnessed ascent, Stallion.  So no evidence video exists, although I will drag the hairy one back there to repeat it on HD very soon.

[dobbin]

Hey well done beast! I've never heard of this ironman, although it sounds like my ideal problem for all the reasons it isn't nik's!

Heading to the lakes for nye but probably won't get time to climb. Any pics or vids out there? I haven't looked because I'm on me burberry and can't.

[GCW]

It's the sitter to Vitruvian Man (7c)

Vitruvian Man:








Nik on a night attempt of Iron Man:

[nik at work]

Get up there Dobbin, you'd love it. Just don't go proposing any downgrades

[Monolith]

Awesome Nik, well done mate!

[dobbin]

Ah. I think I might have done vitruvian man some time ago, so it could be on.

Heard it was 7b+ ? (HAHAHAHAHAHHAHA - I havent really, just wanted to be an arse!)

[Jaspersharpe]

Good effort shortarse. 

[nik at work]

Cheers Jasper.
(I pressume I'm shortarse )

Bring on '09...

[Jaspersharpe]

Who else? 

While you've been crushing 8A I've been ill and am probably now nearer to climbing 7A. 

Bring on '09...

Indeed!

[SA Chris]

You may crush nemesis, but you will never destroy him.

[The Sausage]

Thanks for the pic, I've got so many nemeses, I thought it would make an appropriate avatar.

NEMESIS

[Fiend]

That looks a hundred billion times better than Marie Rose without even knowing how it climbs. Go to it!!

[Paul B]

I have to say moondance just on the other side of the path is the same Fiendy.
