On fri I did a big dyno at trowbarrow but its prob not a first ascent. Starts in the same place as gregs dyno but goes straight up to the sloping shelf. Not sure about the grade but its hard. I believe squeek has some pictures.

That's a rubbish report! Let me tell you the story:
On Friday whilst me and Jee were pottering around down Trowbarrow, enjoying the sunshine and the limestone beign dry, a local wad swaggered in after work. Sporting a pointy yellow nose, bald head and mean glare we instantly recognised the magazine photo superstar Mr.Burns. After we got his autograph and photos with him, he set about his Fr8a warm up. Soon after he was battling with his dyno project, over 6 foot between jugs and a sloping ledge. After almost an eternity of minutes he hit the ledge and nearly held the crappy hold, could this be his day? Next go he hit the ledge and managed to summon the power to hold the ledge. Wow!
:)
The name 6 Foot Sicks was mentioned at somepoint which is quite apt becuase it's roughly how far the holds are apart

Goes from the big jug between his foot and knee.
Mr.Burns - I've also put a few more pics of you climbing in the gallery.

If it turns out that no one has done it before it propose the name 6ft Sicks and a grade of V9.
Cool pics squeekster
