Yes, but I've posted that before a couple of times and didn't want to pollute a serious thread with gratuitous fractures. 
Some people have no taste  :P

Turns out I know the guy who runs away very quickly at the end there.

Cheers lads!  Owen is down Saturday.  Looking forward to seeing him finish of some of the Dinas Problems.  I need to get you all down sometime for the grand tour.  In the meantime though, winter is coming and I can't wait to get up north; probably start the ball rolling some time in October.

Grim indeed, but not so bad on second viewing. Is it just me that finds the toes in that second picture weirder than the heels? Can't explain it, something about the little toe on the right foot.....

Iīve been saving my entry into this for something that felt like it really merited it, and finally (actually about 2 weeks ago) itīs arrived. Itīs not at the tor. Itīs not at stoney. Itīs not even on peak lime. It doesnīt have numbered holds or any rules (so it doesnīt really count) but anyway...

 :dance1:
YYFY
Got my first 8a flash in rodellar (corredor), and a taster of an 8a onsight with El Sepes which gets 7c+/8a (itīs really 7c+ probably, but Pickford said 8a and the punters on 8a.nu take the grade which gives me a nice warm feeling inside)
:dance1:  Chuffed.

Effort. That was my first 8a flash too. If you're still there you should try to flash Limit, the newish route next door. Harder than Corredor (given 8a+ when I was there), but very flashable. And also Adios Pepita at Piscineta, which I always bang on at folk to try but nobody's ever arsed to do the walkin.

Didn't get on Limit No, but one of my mates did it and the other flashed it, they seemed to think easy 8a to the first chains, harder 8a to the top.. on the list for when I get back there. Didn't get around to going to piscinetta, though it does look mega from a pic I saw, another reason to get back ASAP! What a brilliant place, no wonder moving to Spain seems to be the thing to do nowadays.

These past few days have been days of nemesis tickage. Firstly, yesterday, I did Lifeline "V4" at brownstones, then today I did Pebble Wall "V5" at the cliff. Si si fanculo si.
