if its the 6C+ from the same start as lucian's then that it is a great problem, nice one

Cheers! Yep, problem 14 in the current Vertebrate guide. The other one was the wall traverse, ie. hands below the middle break.

If you're sending 6c+ on the lime only a matter of time before you do a 7a on grit word.

6C on grit would be nice! I find it much harder than lime for some reason.

Cheque-that's why dyno grades don't mean anything. Quents isn't 7b it's just a big jump, same with kriton dyno, young Americans et al

the dense one speaks the truth,im shite house on lime and i think i did all the stoney dynos in a day.went home feeling a hero until i actually thought about it and they pretty much just  good hold to good  hold.some dynos though do require a bit of technique.cant think of one now

[scooby doo]

Sousis D'air at Saint Germain in font? Some technique required! Where is 'kriton' dyno?

[a dense loner]

It's a dyslexic kirton dyno. iPad annoying auto correct

[Tommy]

Strong fiend.

Trying to figure out the forces on that rock causing the crack to form, will if be an offwidth in a thousand or so years?

Yes Fiend, yes. You've made my day putting that video up. I've always wondered what it looked like. I never ever click on the "boulder" section on UKB, but something just told me I had to do it today. Weird.

Get a car jack on it and some dynamite.

Scraped my way up Tourniquet at Little Font, Kentmere today. I know it's had recent hold breakage but still YYFY!!! Amazing problem, best I've climbed. 

[Andy F]

I'd hardly say scraped. More like 'ambled making it look path like'

Nice one. What is the thoughts on this gradewise now? 7c+?

Not sure, it's definitely the hardest problem I've done, Greg says 7C+, I'd say hard 7C+ maybe soft 8A, can't really comment as I haven't done many at that grade.

Led my first 7a today- Consenting Adults at Malham.

This weekend...

Monkey Man @ Sheigra....after 3 days worrying about how I'd get it done with regards fitness, warming up, rock conditions etc etc (yay isn't it awesome being a permanently syked and permanently scared trad climber lolz). Hardest trad route this year, not a very big number....but it is overall harder than Unleash The Beast @ Ardmair and Big Country Dreams @ Cambusbarron, for example... Spent so long in the undercling jam rest my hands are pretty mangled but satisfying war wounds   

11 stone 12 pounds this morning. Maybe due to fingernail and skin loss! Need to keep training now it's raining...

[Mike Tyson]

Today has been a monumental day for me! (Indirectly, but still great!)

My mrs has got a job up here in Cumbria (In a weird twist of fate, the one I left to start my own business a few months back) and we have also just secured a house together in Threlkeld, just outside Keswick! How's that for life changing!! YYFY!

Spotted a total B-list celeb last night. Anne Hegerty aka 'The Governess' from the quiz show 'The Chase' was having a quiet drink in Hardy's Well in Manchester last night. Haha, amazing.

You need to stay in more.

Fair enough spotting a B/C list celeb... but why is that a YYFY???
Did you jump up from your seat and point? Run over and fawn, with jaw on floor, all over her?


 Maybe Stallioni has a point

[pyrosis]

First 7C+ today, though I think my height made the reachy crux more 7B/+ ish. Still,

No I just sat there. It was a small highlight of my week. Not sure why I found it so funny in hindsight. Maybe it should have been a NNFN. "My life has descended into spotting sub-par daytime tv celebs in my local boozer. Maybe i should stay in more. ;-)

Forgive my cheekines earlier My Pub celeb 'meetings'/stalkings (in no particular order)

Saying hello (along with about 10 other people) to Anna Friel in the Skyrack,
A chunk of the Emmerdale cast used to regularly drink in our local boozer when I lived in Horsforth,
Bumping into Paul Ince and Ryan Giggs in the Hacienda,
Watching Stan Collymore fend off women in a pub in Wolves (he had about 5 come up to him with phone numbers whilst we were stood next to him for 30 min)..
Hilarious blanking/ignroring of Bruno Brookes (who was fishing for Celeb being noticedness) in All Bar one Leeds,

4th weekend a row in North West Scotland. This time I headed up to Reiff...

Headstrong - after a huge tantrum resting on Sonique (god I really do suck at this super-steep trad bollox), Headstrong went totally smoothly, and despite being a grade over had some great climbing, the moves to, onto, and above the rest ledge being some of the best I've done recently.

Headlong - the next day I was just aiming for a mileage day around Golden Walls (lovely) and Leaning Block, but had seen that the Aberdeen old skool gnarlers had done this the other weekend and....well it was chalked up, the tide was out, I was warmed up, I had to try it. Again it went pretty fine after the "kick in the bawbag" starting moves, really nice to do the easiest line up a big sheer face.

Feeling a bit less like a total fucking bumbly now

The top 3/4 or bottom 3/4?... OK. Bad TT. I'll stop now Sorry Fiend - good effort Sir.

[subseasniper]

After a month of effort and 50+ attempts I finally completed my first serious boulder problem.

No idea what grade it is, no other bugger boulders up here so all the problems I climb are found, cleaned and figured out by little old me.

Anyway, it's called Lonely Soul and I am pretty proud of it, took a lot of effort and commitment and now I am well and truly bitten by the bouldering bug.

Get in.

Wick's finest bloc?

I'd like to see some pics etc. Keep threatening to head up your way for some surfing, and nice to know what there is about.
