Title: New Problem at Burbage West
Post by: Bonjoy on January 28, 2004, 01:11:22 pm: John Welford has climbed the line between West End Girls and the hanging V6 arete (Breakfast arete i think), at around the 7c/V9 mark. The problem involves a big move off an undercut, with bugger-all in the way of footholds, to gain a ripple and thence a big jug, where the prob ends. The direct finish looks hard and scary.

Post by: dave on January 28, 2004, 02:19:45 pm: I propose he names it one of the following:

Westsiderz
Westwood
Westfast (pun on breakfast)
Westfield (sheff based health insurance...)
etc etc.

My favourite is Westwood baby!

Please don't tell me there already is a Westlife :?

Err don't really understand where this is. You mean the V6 left of Famous Grouse? Is it further left? Which is West end girls?

Post by: Johnny Brown on January 28, 2004, 06:10:48 pm: So its a direct/leftwards finish on the HVS wall, just left of Famous Grouse? And the HVS ting is West end girls?

Post by: Bonjoy on January 28, 2004, 08:19:08 pm: No it's further left again from the HVS thing which is called West End Girls in the Peak Bouldering Guide.
