 This is second hand and I don't have any details, but word on the street is that that James has climbed that mightiest of last greats, the groove project on the Fernhill wall at Cratcliff. If word on the street is true then hurrah, mighty fine effort sir!! 
 I heard it was done Saturday, I'm surprised it hasn't appeared on the internet already. Anyone have any more info?

[slackline]

  That would indeed be truly amazing 

[Houdini]

Wonderful news.


Who hasn't admired that wee groove?

[dave]

james must be due massive props for this.

[jimbo]

Awesome effort. Inspiring stuff.......

[Sloper]

A fine effort, good to see someone committed to putting away the last generation's LGP's. I wonder what he's graded it?

When will MR catch up and report this news, or is this site so full of sad wankers that can't climb that James' ascent doesn't count?

[dave]

Mick's headline will be something like "UKB in 2-days-behind-the-pace news shocker!".

[Sloper]

Nice! you got the blend of bile and ignorance just right.

[Andy_P]

Thought Bransby climbed this a few years ago!

[Bonjoy]

No, that was the prow project.

Saw James on this a couple of weeks back, he was doing the move about one in three, looked amazing and very good, I think the top out section is worth E6 n'all. E7 7b?

There was a full media scene, I wasn't 'allowed' to take photos as apparently there is an 'exclusive cover deal'. However I saw Simmo yesterday and he said James hadn't done it yet... at least not when he was there. Or he could have been lying... either way don't expect to see any photos until the mag is out.

'exclusive cover deal' OMG

Maybe use a telephoto lense

[Baron]

Fuck "The Man" Adam. Shoot what you like.

[dave]

yeah its a public place innit? has samsonite got some hired goons to clear the area?  

[David S]

Yes James has done The Groove at Cratcliffe. For a news link look at http://www.climbmagazine.com/BulletinBoardGroove.aspx

You can see them in a forthcoming Climb magazine.

And it was awesome to witness.

[Andy_P]

All due respect to James Pearson for the inevitable ascent and whilst I would've respected his wishes re no photos no-one should tell you "no photos". Fuck, no photos is a privilege in a public place, not a right, as every Heat reader will tell you.

 

[Bonjoy]

hurrah, mighty fine effort sir!!

the first E10 in england/wales that really looks inspiring in my opinion!
JB should've sneaked a few shots for a 'UKB exclusive' though!

Look at the end of the day Adam could have taken photo's, he was going to shoot some for use in the guidebook which wasn't a problem. The problem was having photo's published elsewhere or all over the internet as it does dilute the impact of them in a climbing mag so I did tell Adam that I'd a deal with Climb mag and that I wouldn't appreciate them been published elsewhere. I also know that if he wished to take pictures then there's nothing I can do about. I've been asked the same thing by other photographers and have respected their wishes without comment. It just happens sometime so i'm surprised that such a big deal is being made of this. You also have to remember that a lot of time and effort goes into these things and you don't just turn up the once. Pehaps the way I asked him could have been done better but there you go, I was more woried about James being successful and not hurting himself.

What you should be talking about is James's ascent which was filmed by the Hot Aches crew for a future DVD.


p.s. what can't I spell

[abarro81]

Last section: it's edition rather than addition...
But you're right: the ascent's what matters..  once more..
