Could well be! Wierd how the last two sport routes I've done in the UK (The Groove & Predator) are probably the best two sport routes I've done in the UK. Makes me wonder what I was doing with my time before now....

Bloody hell, nice one stu. Long routes though .... whatever next ... trad climbing? road cycling? It's a slippery slope.

On another topic: Tomorrow is my last day at old work. So happy to be leaving the place that has provided me with so much er, learning over the last year.
YYFY. Heres to some time off, a new country and then a new job. NOT BAD AT ALL.

I finally got a 7A in the forest!   :bounce:  well 7A+ according to bleau.info  ;D
A bit punter-y I know but in my defence I decided to make a bid for one as a 50th birthday present.
Ok I'm 18 months late but still!

Thanks to those who've helped out via t'interweb especially Serpico & Neil

I don't know it so can't help there I'm afraid. It doesn't say anything about rules though does it.

I expect Neil will know. Nice one anyway.

Compared to the guy on bleau.info my R hand was slightly further R on a sharp undercut & where he hooks with the R heel I stepped high with my right foot on the arete then hooked the left heel just under my left hand. This allowed me to get the top with my left in the same place as him.
(now I look again to write this, he's in this position in the last pic so I reckon I just missed out some pointless heelduggery)

slightly off topic - but got an outloud YYFY,
Lost my wedding ring at the bowderstone today, just messing about on the V4 crack whilst at the and slipped it into my pocket.
Realised I didn't have it half way back to Keswick. spent half an hour looking around on the floor below the crack assuming it had trickled out whilst flailing about on high footholds
Couldn't find it
Tried the car park where we first parked (the main p&d one by the quarry) and just as I was about to give up when YYFY, there it was squashed into the gravel.

Thanks to the two lads who helped me look about up at the stone.
