Title: Incredible New Diamond Route
Post by: Doylo on August 13, 2013, 10:26:22 am
The bans been lifted early this year and Ben Bransby didn't mess about in doing his project extension to The Brute.  One of the best routes in the country without a doubt.  Pete Robins also did a amazing 8b+. Sorry for the inevitable duplication in the Blogpile but this deserves its own thread!

Having watched the trailer - I'm intrigued by the boat shots. Do you

a. charge onto the beach from a boat - like Marines coming ashore - then fly up the route with lots of 'dude', 'send it', and 'yeah man' type comments? Then base jump from the top (maybe a fake one - probably fatal for a genuine one) - or, no, even better - swan dive from the top at high tide?

or

b. have some general intro ramble then lots of great footage of the route?

;)  (<< which means I'm taking the piss)

Sounds like me at the crag...  :-[

Not forgetting the classic "It's hard... for sure"

Good to see Ben and Pete haven't resolved their age-old long quickdraw/ short quickdraw debate!

Hadn't thought of that, not a mile off.

Surely The Breast is mid-way between The Brute and The Beast?
