Title: [Lancashire][Stronstrey][7a+]David Vetter
Post by: GCW on April 21, 2010, 06:25:20 pm: Managed my project today after many visits to clean it and several to practice. A future esoteric classic? ;)

Over left of the Roadworks area in the main Quarry is a well defined arete in its upper reaches. This is climbed on the right with the hardest move being the last (although the top out felt the crux today 'cos I totally fucked it up).

Tallies can slap the left hand up and up the arete to catch the top in a dynamic slap. Shorties method involves an even more tenuous rock up on a right heel.

The sponsors wouldn't let me ;)

Got a couple more projects in the pipeline in ever increasingly grotty Lancs quarries.

I'll probably be out tomorrow, if only to witness BeardyBeast crushing 8a or more.

Post by: r-man on April 22, 2010, 05:30:40 pm: Nice one! Looks scary! Did you ever test the top rock to see if it moved?

Post by: GCW on April 22, 2010, 05:39:50 pm: Dangled off it once on shunt, it seemed OK for a downward pull but didn't dare do a high foor and pull on it to rock up.
