But really, I think all polish dave footage goes via Rman studios at cemetry road boulder for processing, so god knows if it will see light of day.

Aha so it'll turn up in sepia format with a poetry reading by Brian Blessed as the soundtrack. Look forward to it.

You will be delighted to learn that I decided not to break with tradition and this latest ascent was filmed by a foreign chap and we shall perhaps never see the video. Because you asked of course.

For the full tick I assume you opted for the human powered method of transport. Obviously. & I hope you obeyed Rule 60 of the Highway Code for the ride back Dobbin!!??

dobbin · February 17, 2009, 11:26:45 am

Ah good old rule 60, I did have front and rear lights, but fear my roll mat may have partially obscured the rear ones.

hairich · February 17, 2009, 01:50:04 pm

you legend dobbin.well done mate.wish i had been there to film again. you should have given me a bell. did you have any spanish spotters or capture it on film that has now been taken by the fbi to keep with thier copy of the true footage of the kennedy assassination.

off topic i know. does anyone know if brad pit is dry. i have had 3 sessions clearing snow off this

dave · February 17, 2009, 02:06:47 pm

the more I think about this the more it seems it was just a cynical ploy by dobbin to harvest in the karma. get a load for doing it to the lip, then get a load more for topping it out - double your money. You're not dealing with a mug here, this boy's playing the system like a bassoon.

Fuck it, it's not climbing related but I've just signed up for what has to be one of the best apartments in Liverpool overlooking the city with views to Clwyd and the mountains beyond. Girls, it's worth coming to my bedroom for the view outwards alone.

'Cos there's fuck all of interest inside?

Monolith · February 18, 2009, 07:19:27 pm

Far from it my boy! For there is a penis of such sculptural, sublime proportions that the view is eclipsed and indeed overlooked by it's very presence.

robertostallioni · February 18, 2009, 09:29:13 pm

Indeed

GCW · February 18, 2009, 10:22:16 pm

Nah, Stallion it'd be more like:

Is it as cool as John Redhead's big studio upstairs from the furniture warehouse? I can't remember much about the details, but when my mate was sub-letting from him we used to end up in there after The Academy or Le Bateau with various strange people and Mr Redhead's strange art. Arty women are so easily impressed.

If I unfurled a 4 inch clittercock I would expect to leave an impression on my beau, though perhaps would not expect to block out the view.

It's on Gambier Terrace. Beatles fans might know that .... ...... lived there at one time and the song ......... .... is reputedly about something which used to happen whilst he was living there. Whether it's true or not I don't know.

Check out that massive sack! Was it considered beautiful to have a tiny penis at some point in history?

Jaspersharpe · February 19, 2009, 10:32:16 am

I thought you were skint dawg? Putting two and two together I can only assume that you changed your mind about the affluent queen's offer!

Ever wondered what happened to the Romans

Monolith · February 19, 2009, 12:53:27 pm

Hahaha, funny you mention it Jasper, I was thinking of belatedly cashing in on that yesterday. Don't know if the offer still stands mind...

Underhand extension and patta's arete - the crushening has begun again

First 7c?

Fatboy · February 23, 2009, 11:09:21 am

Fought my way up my first 6a in Glendalough, Ireland on Saturday and very nearly got a second which is a beautiful arete I will hopefully be dispatching on my next visit!!

I know it isn't a huge grade compared to most on here but I am stoked!
Now, training tonight to keep the momentum going...

A fine place to be and one that I want to get back to sometime - not going to make it to the Irish Meet this year but Sloper is in attendance again this year and has his eye on something or other. What was the 6a out of interest?

As for the grade - I still get stoked to get up a 6a as it is a rare occurence for me - just take the tick but go back and try and do the problem in better style next time.

It's all relative, one man's 6A is another's 8B. The achievement is the same. What makes this game so good innit.

Thanks Bluebrad, and the problem was the trackside traverse, just on the path heading up to the waterfall passed the miners village - basically opposite the egg boulder.
Defo, thats my plan, to get back iron out and perfect and rough moves!

Absolutely, have been back climbing for about 18 months now after about 4 years of laziness so its really motivating to be ticking back up the grades, and as you quite rightly pointed out, its more of a battle within yourself and with the rock so the grade only matters to you!!

(apologies for the ramble and hope some/any of it made sense!)

If that is the problem I think it is then it's a low traverse going from left to right? A nice problem that put up a hell of a struggle, ate a lot of skin off my ankle at the last boulder meet and then sent me packing like the dog I am!

Thats the beast Bluebrad!
Yeah it does eat a lot of skin, both on fingers and ankles!!
Now to smoooooth out the moves...

The arete is the one opposite the Fin boulder if you know it??
Actually, totally wrong place for this but if anyone is making it over to the meet in March and needs a lift down there, just shout!
