Called in after work yesterday to have a gander, its looks very good . Those slopers look and feel lush.
Nice one Nik, get up the hill and try Chabal(the big gorple prow) if you like slopers and full on involved battles of the gritstone kind.

[nik at work]

Was it dry Jordan? Did you try anything?
Gareths Traverse is also superb (the left to right traverse of the lip of the block)

I suppose I should head up to Gorple at some point, when I'm feeling fit.

Oh, those tiny knees

Yea its was dry. I did not climb but as soon as im rehabilitated i ll be back.....

Chabal is probably up there with Queen kong sit start for the best in sustained 8a+ 5 starness!!!

Think Sutty will be bringing out a quest2 soon which should included me doing Chabal, hopefully that should get a few more folk keen. You ll need to be fit for the bloc itself but the walk is easy. A pretty much flat concrete path!!

BTW-How hard do you reckon the righthand finish will be??

[nik at work]

I think the right hand finish will be at least 8B, the slopers are worse and you can't use the cunning feet shenanigans. But with a bit of work who knows?? I'll certainly be trying it.

Sounds like I need to head up to Gorple.

bit of a yyfy for me, snowballed 3 blind mice yesterday, great problem. I know its not particular hard but for some reason I've always wanted to do it and with the snowdrifts there and then being stuck at work and then the hospital for the best part of 2 weeks was really pleased to get it done while it is still a highball and not a leg breaking solo. Was shitting myself on the slab as it was wet and my legs were shaking like elvis and a big thanks to keenus who talked me up it as I was battling the voice in my head that kept saying "jump off while you still can"

[slackline]

Good work Jim 

[SA Chris]

Nice work Jimothy.

[Percy B]

Nice one, Jim. I wandered over yesterday morning to do this, but the slopers on the lip were dripping wet so I bagged it. WSS was about the only thing that was dry mid morning...

[butterworthtom]

This probably sounds like i'm dreaming but I found an unclimbed problem at a popular peak gritstone spot
Probably about 7A+/B. Nearly did it today, can't give anything away yet. Highball bulge with some nice powerfull moves, comfortable crimps, a perfect undercut and some lovely slopey action. I'm psyched for the possibility of a first ascent of something that is actually genuinely quality, and would probably be a fairly popular problem.

[uptown]

Well done Jim. I remember spotting Zaff on this way back, probably why I still haven't done it. Maybe I should've made the most of those freaky good conditions.
I'm intrigued ButterworthTom - do keep us posted.
Nike Air hey? Nice link Mr B!

On a more personal note - I too had a yyfy yesterday - Another class new problem on YG. I must have got my inspiration from veteran Nik as I also came down with post-crush illness.

I still log in as the girl you know. 
I'm keeping up with the Jones' so in line with the other old man 8a+.
Why are you showing any interest in a paltry shuffle though Dense - I await your put-down with eager anticipation. 

[nik at work]

Copycat.

[a dense loner]

not a put down, more i wish to know my enemy

[andymarshll]

Did Lou Ferrino at the cave today, started working on it october last year, barely been on it the last couple of months cos of seepage and shite conditions. Back to the cave today and bagged the fucker on the second attempt, first 7C+, YYFY!! 

[north_country_boy]

YYFY! Achieved one of my 2010 goals (which I thought was an ambitious one) last week in Misja Pec, and flashed my first F8a+. Stoked and surprised! 

[shark]

Nice one Dan.  You've joined a pretty exclusive club. What did Steve Mac tick ?

[north_country_boy]

I'll let him reveal that......

Nice on dan although with your form in Margalef I don't think it was that ambitious.

[uptown]

more i wish to know my enemy

You'll always be my friend Dense, no enemies on here. I'm just recovering from swine flu - it may have affected my usual fine tuned grade awareness, so lets go split like in Wales, 8a/8a+. It'll be called Marjah buzkashi. I'm sure Swanny will seek it out even if no-one else does.

[SA Chris]

Not climbing at all, but went for a walk at Balmeadie beach yesterday, and was amused to see a 4WD spun up to the axles in a muddy field that they often dick about in. While we were there a flatbed loader was trying to get across to tow it out, but was getting stuck too, so they had to leave it. Going to need a few big jacks, a winch and some boards or some drier weather (June maybe?). Otherwise need to flag down a passing helicopter.

[GCW]

Ah, schadenfreude.  The old favourite   

[rodma]

YYFY, I opened my valentine card from mrs rodma yesterday to find a printout for return flights to Paris for the weekend (actual real CDG, not Beauvais) in four weeks time.

Font here we come 

Best present ever
