Even my own son is outraged

I see he favours the open crimp.

Is that a sign?

andy_e · May 04, 2013, 10:27:52 pm

Yes! Line's called! No more crowds at the crags!

Is a Facebook calling of the lime akin to performing the Black Mass? Will this sacreligious event alter the seasons and give more power to those rabid luck-based scrittlers who look on the lime with envy and dark disdain?

Given it was called a day before the three horsemen of the gritpocalypse hit Wimberry you might be on to something.

tomtom · May 08, 2013, 02:41:15 pm

it was miscalled.

Wait until next year

I've been in the lime all year, I dunno what all the fuss is about

DubDom · July 08, 2014, 08:12:01 pm

Bit indulgent this (and late!), but since no-one else did it....

abarro81 · July 08, 2014, 08:28:42 pm

I called it on the other thread bitch.

DubDom · July 09, 2014, 01:39:03 pm

Oh, ok, that's me told.

Is this like a reading of the old testament of the G-bible?

cha1n · April 05, 2015, 03:51:14 pm

Is it time? I went to Burbage North at 10:30 today and the rock was only barely below ambient temperature. I don't think I'd touch the brown stuff again this year unless there's gale-force winds!

abarro81 · April 05, 2015, 07:55:32 pm

Isn't everything wet back there?

cha1n · April 05, 2015, 08:04:43 pm

Fair point but I'd expect some good reports coming in today, if not tomorrow.

I don't really do routes but would have happily got on a rope today if I'd known it was going to be this warm!

SEDur · April 05, 2015, 09:18:12 pm

Can you have both Malham and the Tor seeping, and have a calling within a week?
I am sure the winged tortoise doesn't settle on land in heavy moisture.

abarro81 · April 05, 2015, 09:22:58 pm

If its wet then there's no call coming. Patience people.

Jaspersharpe · April 05, 2015, 11:36:27 pm

Patience indeed. Just cos the scrittle is fucked for a week you can't get eager. I've actually got some faith that 9a barrows isn't going to screw this up.

Come on son!

Fiend · April 06, 2015, 09:22:26 pm

Too hot for the lime at Giggleswick upper! I imagine Malham would have a stream of paramedics rescuing people with sun-stroke and de-hydration. Someone needs to call Dow & Scafell.

SA Chris · April 07, 2015, 11:34:55 am

Dow & Scafell, the climber's solicitors! No lawsuit too big or too small!

Will Hunt · April 14, 2015, 12:43:46 pm

I wonder what fuck up will befall the crimp-budgies this year. First it was DobbEggGate, then it was called on Facebook, then it was called on the wrong thread. There's only so many ways to balls the call, they must be running out.

My money is on the call being made by Nigel Farage this year. That would be embarrassing.

"I feel a disturbance in the Fawcett......"

Sloper · April 14, 2015, 01:47:35 pm

I've heard the UKIP manifesto will ban french starts and knee bars.

masonwoods101 · April 14, 2015, 02:03:50 pm

And blame bad conditions on immigrants?

Sloper · April 14, 2015, 02:09:56 pm

Yes, of course, there is absolute scientific proof that greasy conditions are the result of laws made in Strasbourg, God do I have to explain everything in words of one er ~~syllable noise part bit~~ ergh?

That and we'd see a return to English grades, Hubble HXS 7b is a much more worthwhile tick than 8c+/9a the bolts would of course be removed, think of the jobs for climbers returning our great limestone crags to the pristine trad ethics of the past.
