Title: East versus West
Post by: Greg C on April 03, 2007, 09:40:41 am
Some good new problems up Langstrath and a new (slightly esoteric) area developed in the Duddon...

There's a video link to the hardest (and best) of the new Langstrath problems on LB and a here's a rather bad video of one of the new problems in the Duddon...

Looks excellent, Greg. Good to see the place finally getting the attention it deserves. I'll be up there soon to check the new ones out, hopefully.

Thanks tc.

Forgot about another nice little problem I did...

(https://secure.mmm.co.uk/sei/s/1284/731.jpg)

It's on the boulder next to the track on the west side of the beck, 7a+ish from sitting.

And if you fancy a hard project, I cleaned up this meaty affair...

This is just left of the track on the east side of the beck, just after the bridge. Awesome rock and hard!

Cool. Can you be more specific about the location of the second photo? It looks familiar but my memory is fading (along with my super powers for "hard projects", I fear -- I think someone put a lump of kryptonite in my chalk bag when I hit 49 this year!)

Just above the pink diamond in front of Bleak How on the above map, the bridge can be seen just north of the PD.
