Good work Rich.  Now you can start planning your trip down to Dinas Rock to repeat The Riot.

Bit of a hi-jack..... whats Dinas rock like at the moment? Is it dry or does Kenelgarth wall seep over the winter?

Dinas has been wet over the last couple of months but seems to be climbable in patches at the moment.  I haven't been myself recently due to injury but some friends are due there soon so will PM an update.

Cheers Kev. Spoke to Liam and said I'd have to try and get there with O at some point this year! Want to make sure I'm strong enough to tick the Riot and Fat Cat Roof like before booking any holidays  ;D

the one where you have to avoid the crack thing about 6 inches away from the arete. Not the best Font has to offer but nice one.

yeah that's the one. Didint feel artificial not using the crack though, just meant you don't reach to far round the arete. It certainly ain't the best font has to offer,  i did Pause Cafe Direct, later in the day, which was much better.  Got any recommendations for best 7A/B at Isatis?

El Poussah and El Poussif are both next to each other and well worth getting on. Also Angle Ben's just down the hill is amazing and always shuts me down  :furious:

As well as the obvious stuff like Pousah, Pousif, Memmel, Iceberg exit, angle bens etc, if you like little sit starts there is a good circuit of sitters at the back of the area, that are all amenable 7a's with some nice moves and features such as Abdolobotomy, De Brevitate Vitae and Plastikman. I personally think that some of the best problems in this area are over the back at Haute Plaines. Stuff such as Sirplum de Coquile (sp?), Mur Du Lombard and Lapin ou Canard. These are in a beautiful, usually quiet area too.

if you've done 2 7a's in font don't try what ritchie says. la memel is very good as is iceberg and plastikman, the others are but feel loads harder than other stuff. andy has replied while i was writing this, also good ideas

The one with 15 feet of snow under it :lol:

Unfortunately there's no snow under Careless Lee. Weather has been great here this week, conditions very good, and looking very good for the next few days too. How's the Scarpa sticker working out for you?
