New Dumby 8B

Quote from: Stone Country
Malcolm Smith made the second ascent of Pressure while Dave MacLeod completed the roof section of his project on the BNI boulder - Sanction is the left side of the roof (Sabotage the right) which is a hard Font 8b, the link-up through the Perfect Crime start will make it Dumby's hardest...

Meanwhile, Alan Cassidy despatched King Kong - a frustrating Font 8a which is very easy to fail on at the last moves. 'Justice!' is Cassidy's comment on the whole affair! Michael Lee is also making progress on the Consolidated traverse, so we should watch for him eating through the grades...

Big up Dumby Dave! Looks like a good line (for Dumby!) in the second photo on the blog.

Now, I'm a bit confused about the potential Perfect Crime / Sanction link....I thought PC started in pretty much the same place as S, and traversed the roof low and rightwards to gain the arete beneath Good Nicks. Would the proposed link be reversing PC from some starting point on the right??

I wonder if there's a line direct through the W C graffiti too?

Is Malcolm Smith going to be the Stefan Dennis of British rock bouldering?

Good to hear someone cross-referencing Neighbours. At one point about 3 years ago, I could tell you the real name of every actor that was appearing in the show. Since then I've drifted a bit. Are you a big fan SF?
