Did they do it?

Think of it as a practice attempt for you ascent on the next visit.

No he didn`t but it would of been his first V9, he only started working it that afternoon, the kids a beast. Like you say it`s good training on a class problem. :)

Surely surfing rules should apply; first to feet (or off ground) gets priority, dropping in is unforgivable and will result in windscreen getting waxed.

Indeed. It's bad enough when this happens at a climbing wall. At the crag it is surely a hanging offence.  :furious:

I must have improved that final pocket by now to a bucket. God I've missed you RA.
