Title: [Oblique Buttress Direct][Glyder Fach][VII 7]
Post by: Pantontino on December 10, 2010, 11:48:11 am

Hardest winter route on Glyder Fach from Mr Parkin and Mr Scott.

Loads of other stuff too (including a future classic from yours truly  :whistle:).

Impressive quick repeat of Erazerhead too:

Thawing now for a few days, but due to kick in again Monday. Conditions will be amazing as everything stabilizes. Central Icefall Direct and Chequered Wall have had several ascents and its still only the first week of December - what's going on?!!!  :dance1:

In your avatar pic it looks like you've chopped one of your little hairy hobbit feet off and nailed it to a wooden plaque - have you gone bionic now? (not so much the 6 million dollar man, more the six quid bloke sleeping on a park bench...)  ;D
