The challenge is to simply do the following:

1. Jerry's Roof
2. The Barrel Traverse
3. Rock Atrocity
4. Sonic Boom

...not, I hasten to add, in a day, because that would be just showing off and if you're that fit you should be climbing harder anyway.

You'd think it would have been ticked by stacks of strong punters, but the only people I can think of who've done the deed are Nodder, Katz and Clemmow, but I'm sure you know different?

I've still got JR to go, so expect to see me camped out there in the autumn when I've lost some of this desk bound weight.

Despite the summer heat, happy snapper Ray Wood managed to do Jerry's Roof the other day; inspiring stuff. He even had 2 bottles of lager cooling in the river just in case he got it!

[Bubba]

What's the prize? A free guide?

[Pantontino]

Okay, the first person to do it in a day, gets a free guide. If you've done it before you can't make a retro claim, the challenge starts today.

Independent witnesses and video footage (No fancy editing to cover up power dabs, or outright failure!) will be required of course. Failing that, a convincing character reference from your old headmaster will do.

[Bubba]

Now there's a challenge - Come on all you strong crew, get to it !!

[dobbin]

I've already failed (perhaps flailed would be more appropriate). Got to the last move on Rockattrocity on the flash and tried to do it all on the sloper, and ran out of steam on Jerry's.

How hard are the other two and where are they?

[dave]

I've only ever tried RA and JR. Fink i might stand a change on JR but not been there for over a year.

What would an equivalent peak list look like?

1. Powerband
2. Brad Pit
3. Ben's Wall
4. Westside Story

maybe? i dunno.

[dobbin]

D'ya think WSS?

PB would be V10 so perhaps too serious a proposition?

[dave]

well si's list was 7c 7b+ 7b+ 7c, and mine was 7c(?) 7c 7c 7b+ so its fair. they are all classics.

[Scouse D]

Yeah Dave but all Si's probs are power endurance Classics.  Powerband is the only one of yours that fits the bill. Those Welsh problems require just heaps of raw strength-I reckon your peak list is a bit Knacky.
I reckon- Powerband, moffatrossity, Jerry's Trav (plantation) and one other of a similar ilk.

[Bubba]

That long traverse on the Clifftop Boulder might fit the bill but not exactly a well known classic....

[dave]

Aye i get you.

A revised list could maybe be:

1. Powerband
2. Jerry's Traverse
3. Moffattrocity (is it hard enough?)
4. Jason's Low Lip Traverse (remergence)

[Scouse D]

Moffatrocity fit the bill Perfectly- about the same difficulty exactly as the Barrel Traverse

[Bubba]

So what would the Yorkshire equivalent be?

[Adam Lincoln]

So what would the Yorkshire equivalent be?

The Keel
Demon Wall Roof
Larger Larger Larger
Sloper Patrol

[dave]

aye, but DWR is only about font 7a/+, and only sloper pastrol is power-stamina classic. I can't really think of any blindingly obvious 7b+/7c yorshire power-stamina classics, are there any, or is it just my knowledge of yorkshire bouldering is shite?

[Adam Lincoln]

Ahh Rons traverse at Ilkley, V8?

[Pantontino]

Yorkshire:

Slopey Traverse at Almscliff
Angel Face at Woodhouse Scar
Jess' Roof at Almscliff
Access Denied at West Nab

[Bubba]

I reckon there'd be plenty of these sorts of problems in Northumberland too - Kyloe In must have a few?

[dave]

I remember seeing undertow at bowden and thinking that looked hard, dunno how hard is it mind. how about lippy bastard?

[Adam Lincoln]

And Lancashire

Screaming Slave L/H - V9 - Woodwell
Turbulence - V9 - Woodwell O'rt Road
Dannys Lip Traverse - V9 - Woodwell O'rt Road
Cloning Technology - V11 - Woodwell

Err bit Woodwell orientated

Speaking of which, when are you Peak boys going to come up for a play, beats this warm grit!

[Pantontino]

Northumberland:

Cubby's Traverse at Kyloe in
Lippy Bastard at Bowden Doors
Pocket Traverse at Back Bowden
er...sds to Yorkshireman (a bit short and a bit too hard?)

[Johnny Brown]

You people. I can't believe you reduced peak grit to that list of drivel.

Is shuffling sideways, desperately trying to keep your arse off the ground, really your idea of quality? I will die a happy man if I never do (or even try) Jerry's traverse. And as for powerband...

For yorkshire power-enduro I'd go for Ben's groove s-d every time. Plus its the best problem so far mentioned.

[Bubba]

You people. I can't believe you reduced peak grit to that list of drivel.

What would be your Peak list then?

[Omega]

for something along the lines of the great rempart big four, how's about:

full t-crack (a la big boss?)
spare rib (a la tristesse?)
mushin' (a la big golden?)
careless torque (a la formis rouge?)

big more driving involved but similar overall difficulty i suspect

[dave]

they're not really power-endurance though.

In the peak if you want power endurance you're looking at traverses really i recon, unless the cave thing near birchen that Percy was on about is.
