Best Forgotten Art ... the Promontory Traverse at Black Rocks

Am I remembering correctly that that is the film/route where we see $HIGHLY_CAPABLE_LADY_CLIMBER (Airlie?) appearing to have some difficulty on an E1, resulting in me thinking "that's an E1 I must remember never to go anywhere near"?

[slackline]

Its Dawes' film about crack climbing, can't remember if there's anyone struggling on an E1, I don't think the climbs even have the grades listed (perhaps to lull people into trying Sentinel Crack as he makes it look piss easy!).

  Shouldn't have had that second pint at lunch time

[SA Chris]

Clearly something amiss with you today.

Bad nights sleep. I'm knackered and not thinking very clearly at all (even considering sacking off climbing this evening!).  Thought hair of the dog at lunch time would sort me out, but hasn't really helped (although the falafel I had was good).

Id be thinking YYFY looking at the mangle of limbs going on there!

It is Airlie Anderson and it's Promontory Traverse. She gets a bit freaked on the second pitch, but pisses the first one, contrasting with Joe's description of how he found it. A route that's hard no matter what height you are and no less fall potential for the second than the leader! It's been on my ticklist for ages but I somehow lose enthusiasm for it once I get to the crag.

That's from a mate's photostream. There were always some pretty tidy lasses at the wall in Toronto. They also used to out climb me quite comfortably.

Just done RZA roof on my second go (first go was about a year ago) and finally did the prow thing  below Big al Quaeda which for some reason I've never been able to do. Basically an awesome day at Robin hood's stride/ Cratcliffe with much onsighting  .

Nice one Yoof!

Not (directly) climbing-related, but after months with the axe hanging over my head at work, I've survived the chop and will be employed until at least next year's County Council budget. Well pleased. 

[fatdoc]

my finger is getting better

Had a 4 day bouldering weekend. Went to Pex today and managed quite a few problems I couldn't touch 6 months ago, fingers have definitely improved but bloody hell Pex still feels nails

[Eddies]

Fed up of sat in the office looking out at the crispy weather last week, a freind and I booked friday afternoon off and took full advantage.
Started at Curbar at 13:30 where we warmed up at Trackside, did Traqskside first go, flashed the two nice eliminates just lfet of trackside, retro flashed Gorilla Warfare, got Early Doors 2nd go then headed up to Baslow as my fiend was keen to get Flatworld ticked... Which he did. I hadnt been on it before but it looked right up my street, and so after just under an hour of tyring I found myself hanging off the jug tagging my friends fist, I was so happy to do this one.
We finished at the Eagle Stone with The good the bad and the beagle and a couple of pops at The beagle has landed untill it got dark.... A very productive half-day off work and one of the most enjoyable sessions to date

bloody hell Pex still feels nails
