Title: [Scotland][Dumbarton Rock][Spam Dagger][8a-ish]
Post by: willackers on March 20, 2011, 08:43:14 am

Another link-up on the Mugsy Boulder and the hardest one yet. Do the crux of Spam into the crux of Makly and finish up Head Butt. I've climbed on this boulder so much that it's become difficult to grade things but it's defnitely the hardest of the link-ups so far.

I'll post a video later but it's not the greatest quality.

There's so many link ups on that boulder now, it's going to need a pretty detailed topo!

Good work - psyched for getting down soon - wither going to do Dumby or Dunkeld this Sat if the weather plays ball.   :punk:

Two 8's from Dumby (http://vimeo.com/22147658)

Dan Turner recently came to Dumby and did Spam Dagger as well as a few other things. He made this video.

He didn't downgrade it and he's done enough 8's to have a good idea about the grade. Nice one Dan!  :2thumbsup:

And he's an ankle biter. Must mean it's safe at the grade...
