Hockstack Strikes Back
September 11, 2006, 09:33:52 am
One half of the spiky haired, decade transcending, well traveled pop duo put his eagerly anticipated Bulgarian tour on hold to send the Langdale Boulders "last great (well decent)" line, further details (and a great image from Pantontino) here - http://www.lakesbloc.co.uk/8.html

Good to see the icon can still take time from his hectic recording schedule & impressive work in the London Gay Scene to snatch this ascent.  Bravo.

Errrrr. Is this getting the left hand hold on the lip of the undercut problem, but with your right hand via a running jump?? Are you boys short of rock up there??

If you start immediately right of Stefan, you would be doin' well to reach the undercut from here.

com'on fiend! we're all short of rock arent we? of this quality anyway. 
though it may sound contrived, this looked an excellent problem, certainly seemed to 'hold its own' after watching the lads on it.
