Castle Hill really is the shit.  You could wander around the place for a week just marvelling at the shapes.

i had a few days here with no guide, pad or owt (during a back packing trip), it took me quite a while to have the vision to find a boulder problem, strange, i want to go back.

a few from the session on thursday.



newman on power is nothing without control (7c)



me on it

newman on bloodsport 8b

[jed]

Bloodsport  looks amazing

[nik at work]

Yes it does.

Where is it?

And is the other problem at the same place?

[SA Chris]

Bloodsport is at Shaftoe.

Did your mate do it?

[nik at work]

Cheers, looks brilliant.

Did your mate do it?

Not a chance. Newman's a punter. Looks like perfect prep for the 25 metre routes at Blackpool though.

[philo]

he came close, he is using desroys beta which adds another move and a cut loose on the pocket, he can hit the crux everytime when going from the pocket move onwards.  i think he will get it soon tho, or watson as they are both getting close.  4th ascent still waiting... roll up roll up!  oh and if your coming to shaftoe check the roadside bloc too. earl has put up another amazing problem although getting off the ground seems impossible
as mentioned, the two problems are side by side really. ill put some more pics up of another couple of problems beside it.  a nice 7c which seems easier for the tall is a quality problem too.

[SA Chris]

Looks like conditions were far from ideal either. Saturday was silly hot.

[robertostallioni]

The Newmanator has been burning us all off lately on the boulders. His good showing at the works CWIF is testament to his form. Must be all the core-conditioning we did - he's a robot sent back from the future to do sit-ups.

out of interest didn't liam downgrade it?

I'd have to agree with the Stallion, Newman has managed to add beastliness to his obscene gangly frame. A dangerous combination.

Did he take his top off again?

i think the last picture gives the scale of the bloc

adam doing Turtle Rock Problem 7c

In proper hulk style the move was so difficult it caused Adams Vest to expode off his back.

[philo]

HAHahahaha i just realised that, i should explain that he did it a couple of times.
and without the crimp to prove a point.   

[Nibile]

i can assure you this move was burly

[SA Chris]

Am I the only one who can't see those?

[Jim]

try removing your eye-plugs?

[SA Chris]

Try removing your butt plug.

It was a straightforward question? Clearly you can see them then?

[Jim]

Try removing your butt plug.

NEVER!!!!!

I love it, the horse hair tail is also good for cleaning chalk off holds

[Drew]

Clearly you can see them then?

They're Facebook links I think.

[SA Chris]

That will be why then. Access denied at work.

Thanks.

[BenF]

Access denied at work.

It's the same at my work, there are many photos I can't see on here with people linking to facebook or flickr (not that I'm blaming people for doing so, obviously).

I don't think anyone should need to link to Facebook. FB reduces the sizes of images, but Flickr allows you to pick and choose what resolution you want to use! Why use FB when Flickr is free?!
