My string of good luck continues and had another YYFY moment today. Ryan Pasquill did the first ascent of this problem called pot of gold at Longridge a few years back. Its a massive dyno. He graded it V11, but is probably harder than that via that method. This links into a really good V9 to finish. Now along comes Paul Smitton a few days back and manages to do the move without a dyno but with a finger lock. Now i had always wanted to do this problem and armed with that new sequence i went and did it this afternoon. So pleased as its on my home crag! Vid to follow shortly!

Nice work Adam, you seem to be on a roll. Am I being thick not understanding this though? (and no I don't mean the use of the funny V thing!)

[SA Chris]

Cool. Good work fella.

[Johnny Brown]

Finally did what is (I think) considered a benchmark 8a yesterday: The Joker.

[Ru]

Good effort, especially as its not really your style I'm guessing.

[dave]

I hope this was in trainers.

[Probes]

On a routes flava I bagged my first 8 for 2 years. Which is nice 

Top One Andy!

I got in shortly after you mate and got Baboo today mate chuffed!! reckon its not soft 8a or at least if it is definately harder than two other soft 8a's i've done.  Very nearly got straightened as well. Definately harder start than baboo. Same awesome rest, not sure if it was having tried hard on baboo or just harder moves on strightened but managed to fall of just after the (baboo crux) when my fingers uncurled whilst i was trying to crush the hold.  

Cheers
Tim
(proper cold there today, really windy with a few sunny spells)

Tim is baboo being considered 8a now?

Nice 1 adam gd effort. had a sesh trying t do dyno end o last year, never got more than 6 inch from the hold... ridiculous.. anyhow finger lock thing sounds good.

[Johnny Brown]

I hope this was in trainers.

Not yet, but I did have a couple of goes and its possible.

[Jaspersharpe]

Nice one. 

[Johnny Brown]

Oh, and I'm proud to say I milked the fuck out of the swing.

Sounds good, though painful as fook!

[Johnny Brown]

It'll be tennies first at least, lets not run before we can walk.

[Stubbs]

Good work JB - foot on jug left hand first method like Jerry?

[Paul B]

Milking the f*ck out of the swing might suggest otherwise stubbs.

[Johnny Brown]

Of course foot on 'the jug', left hand first, I'm not some campus-trained idiot I need feet to get into the 8th grade.

[dobbin]

well bloody done mate. Did anyone see you? 

[SA Chris]

Nice one JB. Good to sieze the weather window.

[Nibile]

excellent!!!
one day, i hope.

[jakjak]

[Tim Broughtonshaw]

Bagged another 8a today at the cove! 'Straightened', The one that got away last weekend. Pleased. Need to get down to some studying for a bit now... however i'm planning for the next project....

A lovely sunny day and I'm back out to play: mustered enough will-power to get on The Grouch whilst fresh and finally got it ticked. 

Mind you, I'm possibly more chuffed that I finally found a decent sequence for the Happy Days groove.  I now just have to link it into the traverses... it never bloody ends!

[webbo]

just had a week in font and managed 7 days climbing on the trot with out causing myself to self distruct.also managed to do 10 6c+/7a problems which is about 6 months of success in a typical year.
