Title: Lakesbloc stuff
Post by: Nigel on October 07, 2004, 02:51:01 pm
Greg hasn't mentioned anything yet, so I'm going to stick my oar in and bring people's attention to some recent updates. The photo gallery has been improved by the looks and there is now a stunning picture of New Rose on the home page. A crozzled wall of perfect limestone via obscene crimping, and a little teeny bit highball. Also featuring the delicate skin of that other English rose, Mr Burns.  

There is a new resource for routes - Lakesroc - and this features a brand new topo, to Wolfhole Crag. I know Buoux 8c is aware of the place and maybe some others are too. Take a look at the pics! Please go and attempt the routes as they are brilliant! At 4 miles walk, its the furthest grit from the road, I guaruntee it, so bring a helicopter.  :P Trust Greg to give his route more stars than mine though  :wink:

Other topos have also been updated with recently done stuff, and finally, for those who didn't already know - there's a new Bowderstone Topo!

Cheers Bonjourno :bdays:

Steppenwolfhole Crag was born to be wild, and is all on its tod - no other grit I'm afraid! Not that I've found anyway, maybe there is??? It sure is small and it sure is mega, a day up there is a real experience and is a pretty committed effort! Myself and Greg are responsible for the routes from way back in the days of 2001 Space Odyssey. If you know of anyone who fancies a bash then I will personally escort them to the crag, I'd love to see them done again.  :8)
