Very well done Steve. That's one of mine, so no downgrades from me. It is a complete eliminate, but the holds are so nice and the sequence so obvious that it's actually a really great, natural feeling problem.

Thanks Tom and Andy, thought you guys might have done it. It does climb really well, nice find, and don't imagine gets climbed enough for consensus grades. No giveaways though on that buttress. Still think the top out's a stinker.

Here it is, in all its glory.

Edit: nope, didn't work.

I got my wires crossed and was thinking of the wrong problem. Looked it up now and yes done it. As Andy said it’s not really that eliminate - takes the logical line. Nice moves and a cool wee buttress.

Finally FINALLY back in the Peak District and getting to climb again, after getting stuck in London during lockdown and essentially spending four months shut in a very small building on my own.

Nice, must feel great.

Eldest turned 3 in May and has just become eligible for government subsidised childcare.
I've just paid this month's nursery bill.

£85

Nice - same boat for us - youngest's allowance kicks in as of next week.

Only NNFN is that he (and his sister) are going to be in childcare more now, as grandparents can't do the wraparound care they used to, so the saving isn't a great as I'd hoped!

That said, before COVID, even with help from family, I was paying more than my mortgage in childcare per month in nursery / pre/post school places.

Finally did link up project on Tuesday night.

I've played with it on and off for a few years, using duff beta for the second crux for a while, and nearly giving up on the first crux due to hold breakage. 2 eliminates back to back, but climbs really well.

Conditions were foul, condensing everywhere, but wind picked up and went good for a bit. Feel it might be 7A, but concede it may be easier for the short or the strong, hard to gain perspective when so familiar with it. Anyone who wants to nip in for a repeat (and downgrade), I can point you at location (andy e, looking in your direction).

Ours were both in fulltime. Eyewateringly expensive, could have cleared most of our mortgage.

Standard. Pre-COVID she was in nursery for 3 days a week and the bill was always quite a bit higher than the mortgage. Post-COVID it was two days which was some relief. £85 a month feels like heaven. Until the youngest starts in a few months time

In that few months you can save up for a nice xmas prezzy for me Will YYFY

Nice bit of rock, waaay prettier than the Ali Turd cave

[SA Chris]

It's lovely, uncharacteristic of the coast here, with small but not razor sharp holds. Project line going up from 2nd crimp slightly left remains, need steel fingers for last moves and a lot of pads and spotters.

[gollum]

Looks like a good problem in a great location.
Well done getting it done.

Effort!!!

Right arm 3 white lights
Left arm 2 white lights and a red

Both good hangs / no need for the bring out your dabs thread...

[shark]

Thanks Rob but I think you are being generous there on the left arm hang.

This time last year when I’d lost weight I was pleased to comfortably hang the top outermost slots. I was doing some campus boarding today and thought I’d check out whether I could hang the top slots and it felt piss. Did a bit more on the campus board and wondered how I’d feel on the bottom middle edge and went back upstairs and did it!

Did it again for the camera to prove to myself I wasn’t dreaming and because I regret not having filmed myself doing one armers when for a brief period I could do them. 

When I first read about Moffat doing one arm hangs on edges  BITD it seemed like an impossible feat. For the last 15 or so years I’ve dreamt of doing a one arm hang on a first joint edge. Now I’ve done it! It’s amazing to get a benchmark pure strength PB at 56.

Celebrating with a glass or three of red wine. Don’t judge me

[Rob F]

Well, once you've had your third glass you can tell us all what grade it is :-)

Inspiring, good effort!

[spidermonkey09]

Great effort Simon! Is your right arm generally stronger on those hangs/ one arm max hangs? For me its my left, and I'm right handed.

[SA Chris]

my right is stronger, and I'm left handed..
