Where's that?

SA Chris · January 22, 2008, 03:08:35 pm

Well, if you must know, i initially thought it was Cypher, but doesn't look right, plus Slipstones are in vol 1. Then i thought it was at Simon Seat, but can't remember name, then realised that's bollocks too. So i edited the lot away, but didn't bargain for smart comments.

McNab at Lord's Seat

looks excellent.

It is - worth the walk.

After having a decent look today, I think its fairly disappointing (the guide)
lots of stuff missing, photo topo's not any better (sometimes worse) than previous guide and I recon a lot of the lower grade stuff (6's) is well sandbagged.
my 3.5pence worth.
It does look the business tho

Lords seat is a fantastic place and worth the walk/trudge. Lots to do at most grades and if you get bored (which you won't) there is Simons seat. Apparently Hen arete over at Hen Stones is a great problem and worth seeking out.

Sypeland · January 23, 2008, 01:24:36 pm

Hen arête.

cofe · January 23, 2008, 01:26:19 pm

that looks good too. can you toast both seats in a day then? is it worth waiting a month or two before visiting?

Sypeland · January 23, 2008, 01:29:31 pm

You can visit both in a day for sure, but you'll be back!

Bonjoy · January 23, 2008, 01:32:10 pm

It's a long day out from Sheff what with the drive and walk. Worth making a weekend of. There are some good campsites and great pubs in the area.

Stubbs · January 23, 2008, 01:49:44 pm

The best highball/short route project I've ever seen also resides at Simon's Seat...

There are 2 many shots of some guy blowing a trumpet, although the trumpet has been photoshoped out

You mean this fellow?

Nice orange t-shirt. Suits the overall look.

Houdini · January 23, 2008, 03:54:37 pm

Nice wig. Suits the overall look.

Johnny Brown · January 23, 2008, 03:57:24 pm

He's at it again!

Houdini · January 23, 2008, 04:00:33 pm

Shit, most of us use a toilet

webbo · January 23, 2008, 04:13:52 pm

simons and lords are both shit,in fact all of yorkshire is.you'd be much better off staying in the peak.

and yet again, louis armstrong on the case:

thats only a fraction of his repertoire though - hows about a touch of Blue Steel?

You've gotta love Kim's "suckling pig" spotter look.

cofe · January 23, 2008, 04:46:56 pm

he's my bitch.

i am both hurt and offended by those pics. that said, i'm still unable to not suck my face into my mouth when climbing for some reason.

dave's bottom pic is whiskey galore at brimham, one of best probs on grit i reckon.
