Finally getting back into my stride again after a summer away (apologies for slackness on NWB site of late); and to prove I'm serious I've some hot news from the Pass.
CJD has extended Diesel Power with a link along the Cave Route ramp (i.e. starting sitting at the base of Roadside Arete). This rates a vein busting V12/Font 8a+.
At a more attainable level check out the following:

I went for a quick look tonight and was very impressed. Brilliant problem, and I can't believe I never spotted it, having walked within 30m of it before but never bothered to look in the hidden dip below the wall. More fool me; this is a future classic!

There's a LakesBloc chalk bag for anyone who can tell me what the MACHO in MACHO Man stands for. How strange, all these acronymic problem names in the same week. :-\

Nubile Adam Strikes Again?
I'm confident never strikes again has to be in it Simon!? As for nubile, well I'm sure he's sexually mature if not a young lady.
-
Naughty Adam Strikes Again - would have been better. That's not the answer though.
Oblique clue: what would (or wouldn't) you call this feature?

Woo.. see my post numbers accumulate

How do you know I googled it? I might have won my prize fair and square (if I hadn't googled it, which of course I did :whistle:).
I reckon you should send that state of the art designer bag to Rheged - it should be mounted in a glass case as a metaphor for these modern times, or something.
-
Not Another Shit Arete?
Alternatively...
Noah's Ark-Shaped Arete
Naughty Aardvark's Shagging Area
Nefarious Ankle-Sucking Alligators
Or more likely...

-
Not A Scouse Arete?
-
Never A Shit Arete
Never Another Shit Arete
Not Adam's Shit Arete

Since when has 'Scouse' been a swear word?

HPR clue It's hard to see people in academic study.
Aha. Half Price Radishes...... :-\
-
When I said 'sold' I didn't mean he had to buy it or anything, just a turn of phrase if you catch my drift 'n' all that...
-
Not Another Shitty..EDIT... Arete?
I bet I lose this cos I spent too long inserting profanities for my own amusement.
Edit: Oh yes, so I did.
Edit: Too many profanities. What would my mother say?

Harry Potter Reader
You could just leave a bag behind the til with someone at V12 and I'll nip in to pick it up, they all know me (but not my mysterious username, ah hah hah hah hahaaa!)
-
If it makes you feel better r-man, it was my birthday yesterday
And for it I got:
A snapped a4 pulley on my index finger last night the on jugs of Jerry's roof, 3 weeks before my font trip
:wank: :wank: :wank: :wank: :wank: :wank: :wank: :wank: :wank: :wank: :wank: :wank: :wank: :wank: :wank: :wank: :wank:
Woo, look at those guys go!
-
Happy birthday! I'm glad it's going to a good home. Remember, a chalk bag is for life, not just for birthday.
-
r-man - and you were so close, only to fall at the final fence. Ain't life cruel? I guess it is if you bust a ring pulley on your birthday (what time were you at Jerry's last night LL55 - I was up the Pass late on, walked back to the car in the dark).
Jasper, not sure about the logic, but it has a certain ring to it.
-
LL55 - just a thought - I think I know who you are, but I'm not sure, so what do I say to the lads and lasses in V12: "Somebody will come in and identify themselves as LL55 - give them a chalk bag?" Any sly toerag could see this thread and hot foot it down to Llanberis to grab the freebie. You must step forward and reveal your true identity - a bit like the unmasking of Zorro.
-
i was out from about 6 to 8, give or take a while with my hand in the stream reducing swelling. I was hoping to send Bus Stop, but two warm ups on Jerry's and a massive snap - thats the second one this year!
I'm gonna spend 10 days in font scrubbing up my slabology and fingerosophy.
It wasn't a ring pulley though - it was the index finger at the second joint. I've no idea why the hell that would happen, and on jugs. I blame it on my new Scarpa Stix pull-ons.

Fuckin harsh. :thumbsdown:

No logic whatsoever. I quite like it though. ;D
-
Just say its for Scott to pick it up, that or I'll send a minion in.
I need to nip in anyway as someone stole my walking boots this week too :(
That, on top of a months wages repairing my van has made a very expensive month for me.
Think i'll write a book about it :boohoo:
-
Okay, so you're not who I thought you were. There was somebody trying Scoop Traverse when I got to the Cromlech last night, was that you?
-
Did you think I was Stu?
I was with Stu last night, the guy on the Scoop traverse was a French dude, who was at Jerry's when my finger snapped. The hush that came over everyone when it went was intense.
Ha ha, i still remain an enigma. Bwah ha ha ha haaaaa!

High Performance Rubber?
-
it`s hard to see people in academic study has to be Hidden/hiding Public Research. :-\
-
All that guessing reminded me of our climbing trivial pursuit game. I've thought of a way transferring it into multimedia format. Long boring evenings on climbing trips will be a thing of the past. Look out for such classics as name that problem (via yes and no elimination) and problem charades (via mimetic representation).
Seriously, its far better than I could care to describe. Ask BenF, he gets an erection when this game arises.
-
That night in Magic Wood was one of the high points of my life. A kind of boulders Question Time with Andy Jennings as David Dimbleby.
-
Bethesda's finest musical export is getting dangerously close to the HPR answer.
On a different note, I recall playing a route miming guessing game whilst wasted on too much cheap wine in a remote Spanish refuge many years ago. It was a right laugh, although I'm sure we looked pretty stupid. My mate's mime for Green Death involved him unclipping all but one imaginary quickdraw from his harness and glancing up with a look of fear and dismay on his face. I got it straight away.

Hard Paper Round?

Weener!! Weener!!
Nice line, obviously great rock. One of the best areas in The Pass. ''Stunning?'' Perhaps... Don't mind if I ring my own bell here (ouch) but the one known as, When I Was on Horseback (tough line to it's R still to go), could well have taken this particular adjective as it's own already. Hunt! Seek!
-
Hidden Person (s) report
you know, like a missing person report, only they're like err.. hiding. Boo!
-
Hidden Populations Research is the correct answer - I won't quibble over the 's'. So we have another winner, who is also a N Wales local (no doubt I'll see you at the Ormes some time in the next few weeks SF Monkey; failing that I'll leave the V12 chalkbag in the shop in Llanberis).
I did go looking for When I Was on Horseback once, but failed to find it. I'm sure it is as pant-wettingly good as you say, but some more specific location details might help.
Here's the original news item for those who haven't discovered the search function on the NWB.com site:

Whoo hoo get in, me pappy told me those cryptic crossword skills would see me right one day :dance1:
-
If you take that many guesses with a cryptic crossword, I hope you use pencil.

Strategic board game Phillips egocentric. ;)

Oh my Si, I do think those chickeny-whites should have been left to posterity...
I'll not hi-jack Weeners' thang here further, but WIWOH is a fine old-skool line. Proud, and not too far from MYOFM. Well, there's more to go there. Remember that entire buttress, untouched? Shamone!
