I heard a rumour that Dave was back in font, and my first thought was Kheops Assis. Well, it turns out I was right and he crushed it wearing a mighty fine looking vest.

I wonder if my prediction of the next tick will turn out to be correct... let's wait and see (because it will certainly be newsworthy).  :bow:

ps. I can't hotlink to the hi-res version so you'll have to click. Sorry.

Guy's a beast, if your gonna climb in a white vest you'd better be strong.

Tell us then.  You don't get any waddage Keith if you only announce your predictions after they've been proven to have been correct retrospectively.  Unless you want a career as a calirvoyant or a conspiracy theorist.  Maybe this is another thread.

Partage SDS?  Why would anyone bother w/ that?  Hard, cool feature - but it's horrid spraggy dirty crimp climbing that doesn't even use the feature it is.   Having watched someone do it I can't be arsed to put the effort in on it.

Speculating what people might climb . . .    Vicarious pleasures  :thumbsdown:

Perhaps this should be changed into a sweepstake about what Graham will climb next. As for my guess, there is no danger of telling you all because only punters go on these forums, it's the Rumont roof project. No doubt some of you will have seen it, and it is completely incredible plus totally nails. So, that's where my money is.

People say hubris is a bad thing, but I kinda like it . . .   8)

EDIT To clarify - not seen the sitter climbed.  The stander.

if its the roof proj what i think. ferret thought it was one of the best lines ever, i thought it was a bit turd. two exits at the top anybody. the lower moves looked ace tho.
dune from sitter, bring your size and talent

if anybody goes to font specifically to do traverses they should be asked to leave

Rumour is that Graham's hired an Apache attack helicopter to fly him direct from Font to do a last great problem on the Pinches Wall, one so mind blowing that the topo requires imaginary numbers and has to be plotted on a Riemann sphere: L1 R1... i.  His private army of accolytes is also cleansing the way to Bell Hagg... some shit's goin' down!  Next week: Sharma in Spofforth, Ramon in Rothley, Paxti at Peel....

I heard Graham was coming to Minus Ten to polish off a few tasty eliminates before adjourning upstairs to sample the delights of the Cave, although I may be wrong.

Thats a fucking terrible t-shirt that one.  Good to see someone else who grabs their nob on topping out though - well done that wife beater. Stella anyone?

Oh maybe you're right. I heard he can't sleep at night after he discovered he had used the wrong left foothold as on Zippy's last time he was there.
