Sorry Nik.

No worries, I deserved it

[GCW]

Anyone else think we sould have a "Has Nik's Wall had a repeat yet?" thread, then it can be contained in its own little Room 101?

[dave]

Maybe we should start a blog with an RSS feed, so everyone can be kept up to date on the level of unrepeatedness? Text alerts to phones?

[GCW]

How many levels of unrepeatedness are there?  I'd have expected only 2, although maybe a repeat with an indirect start could be level 1.5?

[nik at work]

I haven't even mentioned it this time!

(sounds like a good idea though )

Could we have a similar thread where Slackers can make recommendations for free alternative operating systems as well?

What, you mean like this one 

[JC]

Re-bolted the old Ben Moon route  Culloden  at Tideswell dale today. Old-skool 8a+.

[Ru]

Great. This needed doing. Was it dry?

[JC]

The large pocket before the crux was slightly damp, but you could dry it with a towel. The rest of it was dry.

BLACK ROCKS

Nipped in to Black Rocks this afternoon to make the most of this shitty weather we're having. I cleaned up the three routes on The Block, which for those who can only skim read are, in bold:

Angel's Share
Velvet Silence
Jumpin' On A Beetle

I used a very soft bristled brush and was constantly rinsing it off in a bucket of water, it worked very well. I could have cleaned the whole slab top-to-toe but opted to clean only the already brushed holds plus the first section of the top-outs which were filthy. I know this will be of some interest to at least a few who have expressed an interest in these routes - AndyB and Rocket Man to name but one and a half. Squeak yer boots fellas!

[Bonjoy]

Cleaned and climbed a random old snippet at Froggat.
Roman Orgy E4 6b - Double arete/pillar highball at base of gully between Tody's and Three Pebble. Old John Allen route, makes a half decent highball 6B+/6C. Still a bit scrittly but would settle with a few ascents.

[mrjonathanr]

Re-bolted the old Ben Masterson route  Culloden  at Tideswell dale today. Old-skool 8a+.

Who told me it was 8b, or have I been misinformed?

Or did Ben do it and call it so as an example of the Scots getting stuffed by the Brits ? I kind of forget...

[Jaspersharpe]

It used to get 8b yes and it was Ben Moon who did the first ascent. It had been Ben Masterson's project, hence the name.

[mrjonathanr]

That figures. Thanks.

[Bonjoy]

Thanks to all the recent tree clearance work under Cratcliffe it didn’t take long to fill out the nasty gap in the landing under Chess Boxer with some stray logs. With the new decent pad platform it gives an excellent highball 7a+, as well as allowing Babu Yagu (the 7b LH start up the obvious ramp) to be topped out without major peril.

Props to Nige for this - the slab was in the best nick I've ever known it on saturday. And with seven pads and the new sequence on Jumpin', it was all feeling almost easy... someone needs to do one of the hard projects on this block and drag it back to the future.

[Johnny Brown]

I should add the tree clearance at Cratcliffe has also resulted in a fine looking new route between Suicide Wall and Savage Messiah. E4/5 6b, new guide out of date before its even back from the printers...

[Nigel]

Not my work, but worth noting, is that Creme de la Creme in Yarncliffe Quarry is in mint condition. There has been some tree clearance beneath which opens it up, and someone had definately been to work on it as it was pretty clean and chalked up. Good one to go and get ticked after work or if its really windy elsewhere in the Peak. A real quality route, bold bouldery start then safe with one more hard move past a ring peg. Good effort whoever is responsible. 

[Johnny Brown]

Hammerboy I guess...

The tree clearance has rather scuppered the descent for the boulder problem start mind. You have to drop off now.

[Nike Air]

the Lovely Charrlotte in stanworth quarry, around e7 6b. Now clean and chalked and ready for an onsight. The peg still looks okish and should hold a fall.
Due to access issues only go out of  Biffas working hours. Weekends and after 5 in the week. Wear camo.....

Also at wilton one, lazy friday(e4 5c) and the hacker(e4 6b) are clean and chalked .

[Nike Air]

A not too clear video of The Lovely Charlotte, gives you some idea what its like.

[Paul B]

looks like a great route. Thank god for the mute button though, its nearly as bad as lincolns musical additions to climbing footage.
