at least both hands come off


not on stanton one.  :poke:


of course they fucking do!! left hand on top hold, are you suggesting your righ hand could be in the break, i.e. at the same level as your feet? I can say my bottom hand was well and truly off when i did it, probably behind me somwhere.


thats not what you told kim; you said one hand stayed in the break and you stood into it type dyno rather than all points off. hence why i question your patriotism. general.

Only if you use cheating holds round the other side of the arete.

int there summert about getting arete, putting right toe in pocket and going static but wi the normal holds, plus crimps maybe on the left? we tried that, seemd like it would work, with pointy boot and assuming you can get your finter out with your foot on top of it.

No need to use holds round the other side at all, Daves beta sounds on the money to me. Just body tension and a smidge of technique makes it staticable. Although it is harder than the dyno this way so really shows less technique rather than more in a big picture kind of way I suppose...

It's all essentially soup.

Cheers Ru, it's ace only it's too good to deface with ticks or to take to the crag (I am death to guide books).  Fast despatch from vertebrate too.  

Dave (cast your memory back a fortnight) - like this?  .  And if you've got your guide that means belated best birthday wishes

there must be some weird time distortion thingy between the peak and north wales, my cheques been cashed but as yet no guide  :(  are there issues with the printers or is it just too popular for its own good?
i might be tempted to come over and get it when the weather craps out over here.

get a sheet of transparent sticky-back plastic, and cover it wi that. I do that to all me soft-cover guides, keeps em about as good as you're going to get.

damn straight - although the new guide probably won't look so great covered in an old TakeThat poster.
