Either to borrow or buy ? :beer2:
-
When do you need it by Simon? Ours is packed away somewhere but you're welcome to borrow it. I'll next be passing through Sheffield in Early May. Having said that, if someone can put their hands on a copy sooner / more easily then that might be a better plan

Cheers Reeve. Like to get my hands on one sooner if possible. I think PaulB can get his hands on his copy before then.
I might suck it up and order one from Needlesports even though they charge 50% more than the price in Canada >:(

Just had another scan and GoOutdoors sell at a more reasonable price - unfortunately not in Sheffield and dont deliver so will pop into one of their other stores when passing unless I get lent a copy in the meantime

Sure. You taking a set of cams out with you?
-
Simon, you can buy mine off me if you want. I bought it end of 2013 and didn't really use it as I only did one route!

We never got up Grand Wall! We got benighted :-). And then didn't have the right ropes to descend. Cue epic.
Fleeing Heifer you could be right about though. Was it a Chek route? I'd forgotten about that one.... Or did I fail on that one too?!

You may be an awesome climber, but you are a bumbly at heart aren't you :)

You've just made my week.

I'll make your week even more Duncan....
We actually set off on Grand Wall the afternoon after doing Cobra Crack that lunchtime. Buoyed up on the youthful keenness of having "sent" we decided that beating Honnold and (I think) Stanhope's speed record would be a great cap to the day. We read the topo in the car and tried to memorise and then set up simul climbing with the aim of doing in blocks of 3 pitches. No idea why, but it seemed like what the cool kids would do.
I forgot how many pitches there were at the start and ended up going too far and ran out of gear to make a belay. Pete then did his next block and got lost and had to reverse half of it. We finally got quite close to the top just before darkness to realise it was pissing with rain and we had no head torches. I said it was probably better to descend rather than die and we committed to the unknown abseil route on a short single which didn't link any of the belays when doubled. It got epic and slow and cold and scary.
Our friends came out looking for us as they were worried and we could hear people shouting up at us from the base. I think we never replied as we were too embarrassed to admit what had gone wrong!
Funny day. Good memories :-)
