For those that like a nice little link up and bit of pump, then I did what might be a new addition to Raven Tor - please do correct me if wrong as I'm not the most knowledgable person about the place!
I know the name is a bit strange, but I've always thought it was unfair that Ben got a roof at The Tor - the hallowed ground - and Jerry missed out so I wanted to even it out and give Jerry one. Not literally, obviously...
It starts right at the back of the cave for Ben's Roof Extension, comes into Cave Problem Sit, then reverse Weedkiller and finishes up Basher's RH. Needs a bit of fitness in general and no nasty moves on it.

Good stuff. You've extended Let's Get Ready To Rumbleweed, which was itself an extension of Tumbleweed.

You failed to extend the name though. ;)
-
and the grade? i vote this goes down as Tommy's roof. Jerry was a quitter
-
Seems you've managed to add an extension start to LGRTRW whilst at the same time your extension is a grade easier than LGRTRW, and unbelievably has a name that makes even less sense to anyone than LGRTRW.
You been celebrating your dovedale route by hitting the crackpipe a bit too hard Tom?

Well, you may well find I've been smoking the crack pipe (although I prefer to call it a "additive-lade cheroot") less than you think. I found with this problem that the longer it got, the easier you have to make the moves feel. Therefore as it gets longer it gets easier.
That's perfect (flawed) logic right there isn't it ;-)
-
Looking forwards to see you link into this from the finish of Bens Roof at 7c.
-
This is like Ted's "bigger splash direct is easier from Tsunami because you're warmed up". In which case you're such an overgrader, 'cos you must've been well warmed up by the time you got to cave problem. Also, your knee ligaments were probably much less likely to snap in the heel-toe of death due to being warmer, so knock another grade off.
-
Seems a bit harsh but happy to go with 7C Alex. You're the one with knee snapping experience :-)
-
Yes but Jerry's Roof?
:shrug:
-
I'm happy with Toms roof....
-
Nice one Tom, sounds very sustained this. :great: One more for bored locals to work on!
Haydn did 'Cave Slave' 7C+ earlier this year: http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=361000 which does what you did except finishing up Cave Problem so I would imagine your link would be 8A+, will check it out!
-
Ok ok, when Robin says a name isn't ideal then that means something. It's like Polish Dave saying he's not that psyched.
Robin - happy for you to come up with a name. Or Dave. You both have contributed a lot there in the past!
I saw Haydn there yesterday. Was nice to talk to him :-)

Wad point for names better than let's get ready to tumbleweed
-
Whats wrong with Let's Get Ready To Rumbleweed (get it fucking right!)?
-
Remember You're A Wombleweed
:-\
-
No Dave I like LGRTR! Phone autocorrect making the words change. Best name at tor. I just mean if anything even better gets proposed I'll be impressed
-
"Weed myself"
-
On a tangent. Tom - its all well posting shite on FB about 'time to get strong', but doing route-length links is not the way to do that. You're sposed to be all scienced-up to the balls and know this shit! keep it alactic man

Let's Get Ready to Rumble Mama's Weeds
http://mamasweeds.com/2009/08/05/lets-get-ready-to-rumble/
Hang on a sec..... ok got it. It's starting right at the back of Ben's extension. How about "let's get ready to fumble Ben's weed"
-

Yeah but you don't realise is that my hardest ticks non-crack climbing last year were 2 V8's. So therefore doing a V9 (is that Cave Problem?) is pretty bloody hard for me!! You've got a point though. I need to stop being a weakling about this. I'm off to try a bit harder....
-
No, if you can climb c.8 moves(?) into it, then i don't think its really in the sweet spot for a strength adaption.
Moreover, if you can hang the BM middle rail one-handed WITH added weight, for any length of time at all, then surely v8 wont be very hard?
-
Return to the Tor and try some straight-ups.
-
Ha ha ha he used V grades!
-
How about "let's get ready to fumble Ben's weed"
:2thumbsup:
-
V grades AND rubbish grading AND a name that seems to annoy everyone, great stuff. Almost compensates for putting up a link at the Tor.
-

Let's get ready to lets get ready to rumbleweed.

Sorry Tom! It's been a while since I was a Tor regular, but apparently I still care! There are so many Jerry's Roofs in the world, and the more of them that pop up, the more the name is diluted. Surely we don't need any more Jerry's Roofs?
Your Let's get ready to fumble Ben's weed suggestion make me chuckle. Suitably daft. As is SA Chris's.
P.s. what the others said - you are clearly too good at this stamina stuff. Go and climb some straight ups! :)
-
Let's get ready to lets get ready to rumbleweed.

Thanks to you fuckers I've had that piece of shit in my head all afternoon. Somebody make it stop, please.

Loving the Montreal Canadiens jersey look.

If it needs a name at all, then this is it.

Let's Get Ready to Randall / Let's Get Ready to Randall Weed

Let's Get Ready to Tom Randall

Let's Get Ready to Randall / Let's Get Ready to Randall Weed
I can't really call a problem after myself. I just can't. Especially at the Tor where I've got serious levels of uncoolness.
My vote would be "Let's get ready to fumble Ben's Weed" but I lack a lot of taste, so it's hardly going to be fitting. I'll ask my 4-yr old daughter this eve what she wants to call it and will go with that. Bonjoy had some good success with Spike, so I'm hopeful!
-
Call it Lets get Ready to Randall. Its the best name. Plus you don't actually need to call it that. To save your modesty, do like Steve Mac did when he linked Weedkiller trav/reverse cave sit/bens roof: shrug your shoulders and say it's just another link at the Tor, and don't name it. Then everyone else can call it Lets Get Ready to Randall for you. All birds are therefore killed with the minimum number of rocks.

We don't talk about such things. Especially not in Statement.

So
tempted
to
change
the
thread
title
:devil-smiley:
-
Done
-
Looks good Dave.
-
So is that the name then? "Definitely not Jerry's roof"
-

I was of the impression this was the proposed / agreed approach?
-
Let's get ready to Randall is the choice of the peoples front of ukb it seems then. Another link to be added to the history books. Now, who's gonna do it into tumbleweed....
-
Would that be "let's get ready to toke randalls weed"?
