Two pull-ups using the deep mono pockets on the BM  :punk:

Considering I can only do three pull-ups with all my fingers at the moment...

Yes. The flake was green and wet. It felt 50/50 if I was going to slip off it or not. Thanks for the comments. I've been for a couple of fine pints of pale ale with the team (Norton and Sam) at the Rising Sun. Just had pancakes and now on the Jack Daniels feeling fuzzy and smug.

Nice work. One of the best problems on Peak grit. There are still a lot of very strong climbers who haven't done this.

And a few very weak ones who can do laps on it...!!

Your beta for holding the third sidepull was very useful. Getting the edge before the porthole as Adam and Nige suggested worked well for me too. Such a good problem.

Did Dancing Queen and Easdon Arete on Dartmoor tonight in the space of 30 minutes (or so), having tried them both on numerous occasions over the course of the last 15 years. Funny old game!

Good effort tom, especially doing them both within 30min, logistically speaking!

I think this is known as a see and a raise. Your move!

Nice one Sharkbait.

It feels as good as a hard redpoint (I'm still grinning) so there must be something in it.

Be good to tick eatswood Reverse too. My other outstanding projects are on lime - Kudos, Perverse Reverse and Rattle and Hump. Sounds like Kudos is dry.

Cheers. Not looked at it but seen videos. Maybe next winter.

Kudos is dry, but it's pretty muddy underneath that problem so definitely take a tarp. No so bad under the press etc.
