Underhand extension

First 7c?

First 7b+

I've no idea how hard it is to be honest seeing as how I only climb hard at Almscliff, and I've now got Underhand wired so I really can't comment on the grade... But stoked to have done the line, beautiful moves!

Another YYFY from today: I learnt to drop in on the mini-ramp in Hyde Park skate park. Then I went to the cliff and finally re-did Sloper Patrol and then went on to do Dreamland again which is a great problem, and then made lots of progress on DWR left hand! Stoked is the word...

I think you can have 7c for that Andi. It doesn't add much mind and is probably soft, but its similar gradewise to Jess's Roof and The Keel. Underhand crux is still THE crux....
Nice one eitherway.

YYFY!

Climbing strong at the moment. Went to Shipley Glen on Sunday and finally did Lady Penelope! There was loads of chalk on the holds so I finally knew what I was aiming for! Never 7c though, maybe just pushing into 7b+ or just hard 7b.

Also I made a breakthrough on Red Baron Roof! Managed to get my right heel onto the lip... completely static! Body tension! Waaah! Fell off on the next move like, but think it'll go next session!

Just thought I'd share. Oh and Lady Penelope is well worth doing, excellent last move!

A slightly delayed, but most satisfying YYFY

Finally managed to hit the finishing jug on Mugsy Traverse at Dumby - my first bona fide Font 7B.

That was a couple of weeks ago - but still buzzing!

The thing was - if felt path...why it take so long

Maybe see you on Sunday - weather's not looking to wonderful though!

Fiend · February 26, 2009, 09:24:05 am

4 sessions over 4 months, 8 hours working it out and refining the shorties' way, and then on the 3rd go of the next session...

Johnny Brown · February 26, 2009, 09:29:32 am

Nice work. A HVS tick well earned.

Fiend · February 26, 2009, 10:49:57 am

I shall be scrawling HVS 6c *** 3m into my log book with great satisfaction

Sloper · February 26, 2009, 11:35:12 am

It doesn't count unless you're topless Fiend.

nik at work · February 26, 2009, 11:41:39 am

Nice one Fiend.

GCW · February 26, 2009, 11:45:21 am

Nice, somewhere else to visit this year.

Fiend, feel free to add your vids to the UKB group. I especially liked the Mugsy failure, brought back a few memories

chillax · February 26, 2009, 01:43:54 pm

Just looked at the Mugsy vids. Jasper, have you been tagging Dumbarton?

Jaspersharpe · February 26, 2009, 02:02:28 pm

Never been, it looks shit.

Sloper and I appear to be sharing a brain today.

It is shit; particularly if you are weak and can't do any of the problems, like me

Beta helps MASSIVELY at Dumby. Can make the difference between getting spanked and getting up stuff.... (IMHO)

magpie · February 26, 2009, 02:48:52 pm

Currently, I am firmly in the spanked camp

You might be onto something but there's never anyone doing the same stuff as me, they're all too busy beasting up the hard problems.

SA Chris · February 26, 2009, 02:52:50 pm

Best beta for dumby - go somewhere else

I think dumby is one of those places where you reap the rewards if you put the effort in, knuckle down and work hard. Something I don't think I will ever do, unless I move considerably closer, which is highly unlikely

GCW · February 26, 2009, 02:57:46 pm

That's true.
When I lived in Glasgow and went there regularly for 7 years, I got on well with the place. When I went back recently I got a right spanking

Fultonius · February 26, 2009, 02:58:43 pm

Don't diss the Dumby - or I'll come down and piss on Gaskin's head!!! So there

That's me screwed then.

Fultonius · February 26, 2009, 03:30:33 pm

Magpie, was that you that was down the other day when I exitedly came over and tried Mugsy traverse a few times?

magpie · February 26, 2009, 03:54:57 pm

Um, possibly, yes. The weekend before last? If I was very short, over-excited and not actually climbing much then yes, definitely me

Fultonius · February 26, 2009, 04:28:52 pm

Were you there aith a bloke that was trying Mugsy?

If so, then it must've been you!
