Streaky was out and about so it must be summer - he only leaves the climbing wall if the temperatures reach near tropical levels.

Adam and Robins recommended it, but when people are that good it's worth checking out with mortals (Pete was suggesting I did Death Trap Direct as a good E5 one time. I've not done it, but I gather it's at the opposite end of the E5 scale from The Knock?)

Post by: Johnny Brown on April 18, 2007, 06:24:34 pm: I've heard its good, think Cavey did it onetime? Isn't Death Trap direct now E6 5c?

Post by: andy popp on April 18, 2007, 06:57:11 pm: I was on the fa of Wonderful World no less. I didn't fall off anywhere, put it that way. God knows if its E5 or not though. The leap across the groove (though escapable) is a brilliant laugh and not really hard, just a bit intimadating

Post by: grimer on April 18, 2007, 09:24:53 pm: well, these recommendatins are getting a bit more mortal, but certainly nowhere near my level. like have any e5 climbers done it?

ok, here's an easy one. Are the 1986 bolts or new bolts (photos on NWB have only served to reinforce my worst paranoias).

Surely after The Pit and The Pendulum you're invincible on E5s?
