So, what you're saying is you've got so weak that you can't even pull hard enough to hurt youself anymore. You should hold your head in shame.

Just shaved 1min20sec off my Froggatt Hill PB. ~~18:05~~ 16:45

robertostallioni · July 27, 2009, 10:18:11 pm

That is a proper "Sweeney Todd" of a shave.

Monolith · July 30, 2009, 06:07:57 pm

Since YYFY isn't strictly for bouldering achievements it seems, I'm proud to say that today at my grandmother's funeral I spoke to my uncle and found out that she was DJ'ing for a long time at various places back in the day. From her death certificate:

"Occupation: Disc Jokey"

Yes yes fucking yes. Better than an 8c anyday. I have big shoes to fill.

You're having a laufff

SA Chris · July 31, 2009, 10:41:19 am

Got finger out and had a proper go at a DWS traverse I have contemplated the possibility of for a few years. Got wetsuit on and went for a swim to check it out about a month ago and gave it a go, but failed due to wetsuit leaking and soaking rockboots.

Gave it another go last night, in fading light at high tide (9:30 pm) and made it, to a big ledge (out of sight) probable FA. The second section is deep in the cave, and I made it largely by feel and luck and a waterproof torch to another ledge. Failed on the third section though, at it was just about dark and I went too high and missed footholds. Need to go back and finish it! Rock is largely perfect, with some surprising hidden holds and while greasy, nowhere near as bad as I expected. Amazingly atmospheric and spooky, especially in fading light. Sussed out a possible light through the opposite wall too.

Falling Down · July 31, 2009, 01:06:06 pm

Effort Chris - looks as exciting as you described on Tuesday.

slackline · July 31, 2009, 01:08:15 pm

That does indeed look "exciting"

Spanish John · July 31, 2009, 01:12:46 pm

you must have frantic to get to that point before the timer went off on your camera! very atmospheric niche

SA Chris · July 31, 2009, 02:13:22 pm

Had a bud with me - wouldn't do it on my tod. He took a lower line and lost it at the vertical crack and took the plunge, then took over torch holding duties.

and I meant to say "sussed out a possible ~~light~~ line through the opposite wall too"

Aussiegav · July 31, 2009, 02:58:56 pm

Hey SA Chris,
how about getting one of the old 80's style smoothy steamers and tackle some of the heinous full body offwidths...

could be on to somethng with giggling crack in Yorkshire there........

SA Chris · July 31, 2009, 03:11:23 pm

Gigglin' Crack is a lot closer to you than me! Full body stealth suit might be better.

Hoseyb · August 03, 2009, 03:58:45 pm

a Small yippee (Yip?) as I got Teyrn Roof crack done last night. Another one ticked off the List. (see Blog) Still got to go back to Georges crack tho'

hose

Fiend · August 03, 2009, 06:53:47 pm

Nice one Hosemeister. I seem to remember TRC being a great laugh, rotating around on fist-jams and stuff.

I would be quite surprised if there's only one V grade between it and George's crack, though

chriss · August 04, 2009, 01:19:27 pm

A Very late YYFY, but been back a month from a two month Euro trip & got me three 7b's first of the grade! Not a big number for many, but good enough for me.

erm, sam · August 06, 2009, 11:20:03 pm

1.The missus has got t'net sorted in our new house.
2. Went to Ramshaw for a boulder/wander after work.
3. Saw amazing sunset after stumbling up a cleft in the crag. Actually almost gasped...

Falling Down · August 06, 2009, 11:59:17 pm

Good to hear it Sam.

The sunset was awesome from the High Peak tonight though. Me and the neighbour had been routing at Smalldale and drove back via Dove Holes through Chapel. Turning the top we stopped the car and soaked in a sky on fire.. amazing.
