A new addition at the micro venue. My friend Ben just put this up today. Two undercuts into a burly rollover. Great addition and maybe the last possible thing to be squeezed out of this chossy cave!

Just added my own little line also at 7A called Degrassi Knoll that starts on the shield and traverse right along the crack, this leads to an excellent clock move and then tops out same side as twisting in the rain - really quality this venue, worth a visit for sure!

Spotted this as a possibility when I checked the cave out a few weeks ago and then didn’t get chance to get back. You snooze, you lose! Was going to call it Thirst for Knoll Edge.

Ah good thing cause I started working this a while back. I’m going back for the low start this weekend so please stay off it as it’s currently a closed project
-
I’m calling bullshit on that

:lol:
Sorry but what makes this a closed project?
-
Well the fact that we worked on building and cleaning the landing out to make it less dangerous but if someone wants to be a knob and go do it then go ahead lol

Just realised closed projects aren’t really a thing here ah well, have at it :shrug:

Smizard is injured so your project is safe for now

I think telling people about a project makes it more likely to get nabbed. I learned that the hard way beforehand.
Also no need for pointless drama.

I understand why you would want this to remain a 'closed project' with the effort you've put in but I wouldn't be surprised if someone did climb it before you though as you have advertised the problem to the world on your instagram and here. It might be prudent to hold back from posting new problems until you have tidied up all of your projects, I know this is the most common tack that first ascentionists take.
-
I think if you’d requested the weekend to get it done people would have been a bit more sympathetic.
I’m not sure climbing someone else’s problem into someone else’s problem could ever really be classed as a closed project either, particularly at a venue you didn’t find.
I’d also suggest maybe keeping the lid on stuff like this till you’ve got it done you’re just asking for somone to get interested by firing the videos out straight away.
Edit - what Scouse said.
-
Yep should have kept my trap shut. Won’t be making the same mistake again. Lesson learnt.
Sorry for any unnecessary drama everyone!
-
Spray about my recent climb but risk getting the full line nabbed? :devangel:
Stabbsy, it's not too late for Thirst for Knoll Edge to happen... ;)
-
I think it's totally reasonable to ask your mates and climbing partners to hold fire on something until you've done it, even if it's at an established venue etc.
(he says, having recently done exactly that - I'll get it done in September / October, promise!)
Obviously the nature of bouldering is that anyone else could easily spot what you have and do it before you and sometimes that's just how it goes, especially when you share an easier version far and wide, and the harder thing is dead obvious. As others have said, discretion is usually best practice.

I know this one but Bradders hasn't asked me not to try it. Might take a day off tomorrow... ;)

It's cos I know you don't have a chance on it ;D
please don't though...
-
When you do it Bradders, I think it'll now be noteworthy enough for the Significant FAs thread. Maybe all of this was just a publicity stunt to get people talking about it :ohmy:
-
After much overnight worrying I went back today and bagged it.
-
Shame Footwork did it yesterday

:alky: me after hearing that news
