Furthest East bouldering Problem..

:jedi:

Hey, first time I've posted here - those emoticons are brillianT1

Anyway, did a fantastic problem the other day...This possibly qualifies as the furthest east bouldering problem in england.  (although bouldering might not be quite the right word)

Check out this link for pics and videos...  (just keep scrolling down, though the Root2art site IS worth a visit if you like art)

http://www.root2art.co.uk/rayner_family_expo/5september04.htm

But it's definitely a three star problem! Not sure if it's really V6, maybe V5. Quite technical and thoroughly enjoyable, with a nice sandy landing.

Spent a whole morning on this, though once you've got it sussed it's really not that hard..

Ah..where is it? Benacre beach, which is not too far from Southwald, which is not too far from Lowestoft, which is not too far from Norwich, which as you all know is the climbing capital of the world...

(Nobody better foul-mouth the sportspark wall, cos there are bouldering problems on there that I pine for, even now that I live in the land of real rock!)  :wink:

But anyway, if you live in that part of the world, go check it out on a sunny day. The beach is very nice too.  :rocker:

Added some commentary to further amuse and entertain...

If you aren't further amused and entertained, I can only suggest that you need to take a long, deep look inside yourself and consider the person you are and the person you would really like to become...

hot tip - always film in landscape (you can use premier to rotate it though)

Yeah, cos it was digital camera, not camcorder, we just assumed we could frame whatever way up we wanted. Doh! :oops:

I dunno, where's spurn point when it's at home? :?

This is where the beach is, just along the road from Covehithe, and about as east as east gets in this small island... :bits:
