Thanks for the picture Sypeland. I was presented with two of those sometime ago... firmer than rugby balls. Sadly I saw her last week in Presto pushing a pram and they were tucked in her socks. But I suppose its a bit like doing Childsplay before the footholds turned into ledges.

As William Burroughs said about Spare Ass Annie, "I don't know what he said, but it was funny."

any news on the release date for the new guide? Last I heard was the end of November but there doesn't seem to be any hype and it's nearing december now

[Johnny Brown]

Last I heard there were some previews doing the rounds for potential advertisers. Once they've got those back it'll need finishing off, print times then usually run to 3 weeks at least... be amazed to see it before 2008 basically.

[Sypeland]

I saw Steve yesterday, if it all goes to plan (it's in the hands of the printers now) the guide will be out on the 13th January. I hope to have them on line soon so people can forward order them for dispatch on that day. (or the 14th as the 13th is a Sunday!)

Is it still on course for a January release[It was going to be a christmas pressent!!]...read somewhere there was a website...total climbing but dont seem to be up and running?

I believe it's at the printers! After that the binders then the shops

[a dense loner]

ru and jon barton should know more. cofe should have the inside knowledge here as well. any insights?

[Ru]

I presume you mean about printing? Depends where it's being done, if it needs shipping from China, whether their machine breaks down, whether their favourite customer rings up and persuades them to put their urgent Xmas job on first, if they work weekends, etc etc.

[a dense loner]

no i didn't mean that. had a look at the previews on t'internet. it's exactly the same as the peak bouldering guide so presumed you guys must have had something to do with it

[nathan wind]

anyone got a link to the previews?

I got the impression from Steve ( I might be wrong) that it was being bound and I assume printed in Nottingham.

[Ste]

The books are to be bound the week beginning 14th of January. The guides are being printed in the UK and we shall have them in stock shortly afterwards. More details can be found at www.total-climbing.com

Cheers Steve D.

"Village of Colwling...."
Shurely shome mishtake?

Looks nice, but where are the grades?

[Jim]

exactly what I was thinking

[nathan wind]

nice one for posting the pdf's dylan!

weird tho... some problems have grades, some don't... matts roof doesn't get a grade, buffy does.. handy andys does, andy brown's doesn't... etc etc..

must be some reason for this I cant suss..

was really psyched for the arrival of this.. not so sure now... my dreams of 'the end of print' meets 'bouldering on yorkshire grit vol 3' seem to have been dashed.. oh well

still, looks good though..

I notice page numbers are missing too so I assume these are demo pages which are incomplete.  I see Dreamland has gone down to 7a, and Micro Corner is 6c (gulp). 
Have to buy it of course 

[nathan wind]

I assume these are demo pages which are incomplete.  

hopefully...

noticed play dead hasn't been included on the egg.. not to sure about the ethics of asking people to fork out twenty quid and then refer to a website to see some of the 'variations' that exist..

still, looks good though.. 

beginning to change my mind about this..

[Greg C]

Quick note: Those PDF's are of uncomplete material, they were merely put online to show the layout/style of the guide. It is therefore unfair to judge detail (grades, description, spelling etc.) as this is not from the fully completed and proofread version of the guide, just to show general aesthetics.

[grimer]

Yeah, Greg. I was just going to say that very point. Although, if Steve's reading this, maybe it would be a good idea to replace the draft versions with one of his final versions, even if it's on his website or something. It's worth having them up in their full, finished glory.

[Kevin]

The PDFs that appeared on here earlier this week were as Greg says, incomplete (early copies that were used to gain feedback). But for those of you who are interested in seeing a glimpse of the finished product then check out UKC (Articles: Preview- Yorkshire Gritstone Vol 1)now!

[cofe]

is there any value in getting stuff on here too?
