Speaking of hard curbar stuff, has anyone done Walk On By? or even know anyone who has?
Stick-it gives it 7c, which i'd like to think isn't necessarily out of the question for me (or at least in the near future) but it looks nails. Has anyone even tried it, or know what its like? beyda please......

Whoooah tiger - this has mysteriously migrated to a new thread. Big Brother is obviously watching.....

Bubba is watchin you!!!
Might be a bit of a case of "over-moderation" - I'm just like a kid in a sweet shop with my new fancy moderations tools!

That is another one I want to do. I has only had something like 3 repeats in 15 years or something like that. Ben makes it look easy on StickIt but so does Jerry on the Storm and John on Great White etc etc. I will definatly try it this winter. Ah well, thats another problem on the winter 2002/2003 tick list. If only I could do them all. :lol:

I think its had loads of repeats, vickers for a start, then there are all the other strong yet modest "punters" out there.
-
Yeah, there's lots of people out there who are very good, but don't shout about it.
WOB looks fookin' well 'ard mind - Ben looks like he's actually having to try a bit in Stick It. If anyone's getting up there to try it, let us know and we'll film proceedings....

oooh! whats the storm you mentioned???
-
You mean The Storm @ Stanage, behind cresent arete. That one?
Cheers

Video of Al Williams and Adam Long doing the Storm coming up soon - some nice footage... :)
-
Right! I think someone showed it me once. Look forwards to the video...

If y'all are still interested:
Did this back in January - Sam Whittaker and Richard Williams did it shortly after - Char now calls it 'Walk on Path'
So hope for you all - get them flood gates open...
Sequence is as on stick it- doing the first move well is essential to be able to work the top part. I got sandbagged by being shown a sequencec by Andy Brown and Tim Clifford - The very big and the very strong!
The trick for me (5'8") is to get right foot on little ledge 3' off deck to allow me to get mono in control, i.e solidly- crucial for next move.
NB Be VERY careful when brushing this, the high left-hand crimp is gradually dissolving.
When I get my website up will post a link to some pics.

what after the sidepull? the pinch or the crimp below/crimp above?
at whatpoint does it ease? when you get the crimp out left b4 for the ledge?
damn.

I use the pinch, feels really cack-handed. Then throw with left for big crimp. Good footwork (newish boots, harder rubber than 5.10 may help) is essential. Apparently there is another crimp on same level ~18" above pinch, but I never saw nuffink.
