Effort Iesu.. took me about 18-20 months of effort!

Its two grades harder than the belly slap isnt it? I thought that 6c+ for DBS, 7a for low crucifix traverse then 7a+ for DWR was the grades - I've only climbed a few low 7's but I certainly found them increasingly hard in that order.
But yes, DWR is quite a bit harder - much more finger, core and shoulder strength required than the slap...

I said you would, and you will.

As for manderine   

(though sack whoever named it, different problem with or without the e   ??? )

[SA Chris]

It will happen, oh yes, it will happen.

[Fiend]

I did a nice V4 the other week at Hepburn, hardest boulder problem I've done for a while, and better yet I did it with decent footwork which is a rarity for me.

[neil h]

nice one mate, always good to climb in style 

[Jaspersharpe]

Might not be such a rarity if you took your fucking socks off.

[andy_e]

Did socks with climbing shoes cause DVT?

[Fiend]

More style than Duncan Disorderly too who sketched up it like Rolf Harris on speed despite being considerably less injured than me 

And...

Screw you sock haters!!! Did you know that using very thin socks I can actually get tighter shoes on than with my bare (sticky) feet?? Right. Balls to you all.

[Andy B]

I was wearing socks in my boots when I did Mandarine. Can my medal have a nice hummingbird on it please.
