First repeat. Nuff said.

[galpinos]

I'm sure I saw photos in Gripped of the first repeat a while ago.

  No! I bought a copy on my way home from Toronto and there was a photo feature of the sequence on (what I thought was) a repeat. The chap had moccasyms taped to his feet for the heel hooks.

Around february time? (I am probably wrong though - feeling quite hungover and delicate)

[Jaspersharpe]

Pringle attempted it (and got quite close) a while ago. Think I remember reading about it on his blog.

[Adam Lincoln]

Actually, apparantly he hasn't. Gripped got it wrong.

So your News is "Dreamcatcher still unrepeated"?
You're turning into Will Hunt

[David S]

Hi Adam.
Where do you know this from? There's nothing on the gripped site to say he hasn't.

Direct from him....

[Somebody's Fool]

Can I take this opportunity to announce that I haven't done Dreamcatcher either. Just so you know.

[dave]

thanks for clearing that up SF. (I would like to point out that I've met Somebody's Fool in person).

[Bonjoy]

I once caught a bream!

[David S]

Thanks Adam, I'll take the report off the climb website.

[Somebody's Fool]

I once caught a bream!

I thought Bob Nudd caught one shortly afterwards. However he's just been on the blower, and it transpires he didn't.

[SA Chris]

I once had a Kit kat that was all chocolate.

  you lucky bastard

[galpinos]

  Both fingers? Unheard of.

(It's a shame quality control has pretty much stopped this from happening)

[GCW]

They were forced to stop it happening after all the bastards at UKC complained they didn't have the wafer in etc etc...

[SamD]

From what I hear, Ethan in fact repeated all of dream catcher apart from the initial slab. So basically the slopey rail and the end bit. Dunno if that clears anything up.

if true, it would establish he hasn't repeated it. this thread is great.

[GCW]

Damn you Samuel, with your attempts at bringing things back on topic.

Sharma on said route:



How did he get to the top of the slab to repeat the rest of the route?  Abbed in?

[GCW]

Please note:

It took me 4, 5 worked sessions just to get the slab

[Kim]

(It's a shame quality control has pretty much stopped this from happening)

A friend of mine once had a kit kat chunky that was all chocolate. Or possibly they said it'd be cool to have a kit kat chunky that was all chocolate, I don't remember. Either way, it almost certainly did or didn't happen.

[GCW]

Ah, back off topic.

[GCW]

And also:

[SA Chris]

How did he get to the top of the slab to repeat the rest of the route?  Abbed in?

Aided on those metal things drilled into the rock? Maybe he just hasn't linked it? Used a ladder? Combined tactics? The possibilities are endless.

[Jaspersharpe]

"Before I start my rant, I just have to say that I have not completed the Dream Catcher!"


Pringle on how hard the slab is.

It has wrongly said for ages on the Climbing.com website (front page of his Pro Blog) that he repeated Dreamcatcher and it seems this has added to the confusion.

[SA Chris]

Just shows how quickly false information can get perpetuated when lazy news reporting websites copy their info from other lazy news reporting websites without confirming the information or checking the source.

[Bonjoy]

Tell me about it! People keep asking what I'm catching Carp on, it was a Bream dammit! Know your teleosts!

[GCW]

Yeah, there's been a lot of misinformation about chocolate fingers going around too.

[Kingy]

Please note:

It took me 4, 5 worked sessions just to get the slab

I thought he meant the 'slap' rather than 'slab'. he goes on about a 'technical slab' but then says he had to 'stick the rail'. Just looking at that move, I assumed the worked sessions were referring to the jump as it is such a radical move....  I will watch again and see what he means.

No chocolate starfish though.

Pringle doesn't do the slap, he found another way. Slab on its own was supposed to be V10. Not sure if that included the slap move though.

Sharma must thing he's out to get him, finding alternate ways to all his routes! What with Es Pontas without the dyno! He'll be doing 3 degrees static next.....

yeah I knew about the new method Pringle found on the dyno. Re the slab, I thought that Pringle was being a technical dunce on something that Sharma did not find too hard!

Re Es Pontas, is that just a rumour about the dyno being eliminate or is it true and a much easier method exists?

 

[dave]

what is it with you fuckers? quote properly!

[SA Chris]

what is it with you fuckers? quote properly!

what do you mean?

[Somebody's Fool]

Just heard from the man himself (Pringle), and he's well and truly jonesing to go and climb Sharma's Ceuse route statically. However while he's stuck in Canada he's been training by catching up to eight Bream a day just by using Vince Noir-esque beckoning gestures.

How do you like them apples Fullwood?

[Bonjoy]

I like all apples, even sand-apples, as you well know

[SA Chris]

As an aside, I wonder if Pringle wears Pringle?

[cofe]

even sand-apples

don't get me started.

[BenF]

This is great news.  Dreamcatcher is a wonderful line and it's so good to see that Pringles are now more popular than Kit-Kats, even fully chocolate ones. Or apple filled ones for that matter.  Back on topic, any idea how many other people haven't repeated Dreamcatcher this week?

[Bonjoy]

I once caught a bream

[dobbin]

But was it a gilt headed sea bream? I can fetch you a pretty penny for that my boy...

[Jaspersharpe]

I repeated Breamtime in 1989. Surely this must count.

[Kim]

Just don't call him a crisp.

I once caught 100lb of bream.

[dave]

You guys really are livin' the bream.

bream on, sunshine.

[BenF]

I once caught a bream

Well I can prove that I've never caught a Bream.  Am I the only bream free poster on here?  Maybe we need a poll.

[SA Chris]

I have caught some kurper in the past, should count I think.

Were you on the breamboat when it happened?

[BenF]

This thread's gone too far.  We need to start again with a Bream sheet.

[GCW]

Bream/Liberator in Great Zawn looks good.  Has that has a repeat?

Off topic a bit but an important note:  My Gran always said Pringles Repeated on her, anyone else have that issue?  I think it was only the salt and vinegar ones though.

[BenF]

Hi GCW,
Gran eating pringles thread. I won't mince words here.

Your words are abuse, internet abuse against a poor geriatric who may struggle to eat reconstituted potato based snacks and thus occasionally burp.  We will not tolerate such foul, cynical abuse on this dedicated navel gazing website.
You are banned until we get a full apology and a promise that you>> won't write such nonesense (sic) again.
Best regards,

Millie

[GCW]

Dear Millie
My Gran used to have problem with alphabetti spaghetti too, is that unacceptable also?



Cheers,
GCW

[BenF]

GCW,

I won't noodle around while dealing with this terrible recent case of abuse.  OUR website is now gaining a terrible reputation for heinous abuse of geriatrics, pastaphobia and general vulgarity.  You and you family, friends and pets have been banned and your ISP closed down forever unless you agree to purchase a "premier post" and pay for your mindless web terrorism.

Kind regards and fluffy hugs, Millie

[GCW]

In July 2008 a British court declared that Pringles may not be classed as potato crisps, as their actual potato content is only 42%.[9]

So, this whole thing is more salted potato based snack than crisp anyway.   
Pringle and Dreamcatcher is all an elaborate hoax!!!

[BenF]

Are you suggesting that Pringle did not repeat Dreamcatcher?  That makes this whole thread look like some kind of joke.
