According to Chad's blog www.hardclimbs.blogspot.com (http://www.hardclimbs.blogspot.com) Daniel Woods has just done the Green 45 project in RMNP, which I am told is a micro-crimpy low start to a 8a which should clock in at 8c-ish. John Denver nipped in for a quick repeat.

Sweet.
You can see Dave G trying it 6 years ago on the last section of the latest momentumvm - it looks amazing!
-
people seem to have been talking about this for ages awesome effort looks good in the video of graham trying it.

OH MY GOD NIGE.

From offa climbing.com
Daniel Woods bagged the first ascent of a much-coveted Rocky Mountain National park super-project, Jade (V15, and formerly known as the Green 45). The problem features a stopper V13 crux surf to a left gaston, a move tried by the best and failed on by most. V11 climbing finishes out the wicked-steep wall. Stay tuned to Climbing No. 259, out August 1, for more
That's the sort of stuff the punters want to hear! A V13 crux move! Contender for hardest single move in the world?
Obviously Gaskins's problems must be up there (Il Pirata has a one move V15 crux, does it not? Not to mention Walk Away ss, VNB and Shadow play...), but what other really hard individual moves are there out there?
And out of interest, any lakes bods care to take a guess at which of JG's problems has the hardest move?
This is the sort of knowledge backseat climbers crave...
-
That picture looks like it's at the Tilberthwaite Lad Stones. ???
Ill Pirata incorporates a move that Gaskins could only repeat once in a hundred attempts (it is more than one hard move mind!). Not sure who kept count or why you'd bother trying this a hundred times?
Shadow Play has to have the hardest series of moves anywhere.
-
will you n nige stop banging on about jonathon for once? looked at the jugfest that is walk away yesterday
-
:agree: When will these Lakes boys, who I very much doubt have ever even been to Hobson Moor, stop banging on about things they barely comprehend. Genuinely small holds.

All this talk of Gasgod remains of a little rhyme we used to sing in primary school
"oh Jonathan when will thee go and crush the american homosapiens with your fingers of steel talons and your head of shine"
-
You must have gone to a weird school...
-
Don't get too excited by the video on the hardclimbs blog: it only shows the first move and he falls off.
-
Jade? Less jade and more....lime, really.

'Sneeze' would have been a more appropriate name!

Can anyone please enlighten me as to what a "crux surf" is? I am cleatly not "down" anymore.
-
never heard of it either but I would imagine it something like using a bit of momentum and gravity to fall into the next hold, in this case, a gaston
-
All this talk of Gasgod
Speaking of Gasgod, had a look at his problem on Pill box yesterday on way out. :o Is it a sitter aswell? You hope that footlock was good, realy good!

yes it is a sitter. The footlock thing is shit and was fabricated by the great one because he was feeling guilty about climbing a font 8b+ in two hours. A great feat of modern rock climbing.

Different to a powerglide then.

Flippin Eck then! What did he give it 12/13? Looks harder than anything i have seen in America and Switzerland.

Because he found it easy.

I think Mr G is, in this case, just in another league. I had the privilage of checking out his board. Most of the holds in here are as small as the Pill Box line, although the footholds are nothing but 'scrubs' - heel toe indeed... This really is 8b+, and I really shall pull my finger out this autumn (ahem). :wall:
-
yes you savages stick to the cave. doylo was way ahead of his time as well :kiss2:
