With a mind to checking some new jazz hang-outs, has anybody been to Great Wolfrey?
http://www.yorkshiregrit.com/greatwolfrey.html
I think some new stuff has been done recently, how many tougher problems are there (V7 upwards)?

Also I believe Pantontino reported some good looking new stuff (with pictures) in a recent B-Scene, was this at Simons Seat? Further details would be cool, I have been before but a brief description of the new stuff would be good.

And finally: Has anyone been on, or had a look at "Jacks Dimension" at Rolling Gate? If so does it look good - i.e. Is it worth the fact there is little else at the crag?

Cheers G

Jordan Buys and Jee went up to try Jacks Dimension (it's the highball boulder problem, originall given a route grade E5 7a or something?).  Apart from the walkin nearly killing Jee they said it was good, being a bit shorter than Jack I think Jordan was trying it a different method.  If you've got Jordan's contact details it's probably better to get in contact with him than go off second hand info off me.   :D

Dec 05 Bouldering scene report:

"James Ibbertson reports a neat collection of problems on the Hen Stones, which lie on Bardon Fell about 150m south of Lords Seat and 200m east of Simons Seat. The main boulders are well hidden and there are no existing paths leading to them. They lie behind the obvious band of small boulders, which are easily seen from the main track to Simons Seat, in a desert like area where all the heather has been stripped away. The rock is compact and clean white, quartz rich, gritstone.

James explained, “The boulders aren't extensive enough to warrant a trip in their own right. But if you're up at either Simons or Lords Seat, it's well worth popping across. There are also at least three good projects still to go.”

Hen Arete (V7) climbs the left hand side of the obvious rounded arête. James first climbed this some time ago, but he returned recently and established a few more lines. Hen Pecked (V5) takes the left arête of the square faces to the left of the easy (V0) groove. Over Easy (V5) climbs the front face (from a sitting start) of the 'Egg Boulder' immediately opposite Hen Arête."

The photos looked great by the way.

Hey Si, I take it you don't know who is spotting James at Brimham in the recent one? I can't quite decide if it's Owen or not!

Greg, I can give you contact details for Jordan if you like, just PM me.

:roll:

[Pantontino]

I'm pretty sure it's Klem Loskot. Ask Cofe for his contact details (I heard he knows Fred too!).

There's a picture of Hen Arete here : http://www.theleedswall.co.uk/ymc/oldroutesnews.htm

Wicked, thanks guys. I'll combine an excursion to the Hen Stones with my next trip to Lords Seat... which is awesome for anyone who hasn't been.

Was up at hen stones with James when he did all the new problems - it's a cool little spot and the projects should be good: hard to know how hard they'll be as we were both pretty trashed at the time.

If you're going up there i'd recommend taking a larger soft brush, like one of those washing up ones or something, as the rock is compact, but gritty on the surface.

Andi are you talking about the picture on the Anchor boulder? If you are it is Owen spotting, i took that photo (miscreditted by James though  :cry: ).

[a dense loner]

Thought so! In mine it says Antony Limbert?

[Stubbs]

Funnily it says that in every issue.....  That ain't my name.

Is Owen another of your stalking targets?  :wink:

I thought it wasn't your name, but i misread and thought you said "it's credited to James" which is a load of bollocks.

I've got a video of Owen falling off Anthrax at Baildon Bank, which is great for a laugh! That man can bounce! And who could say no to those flowing goldilocks?

I've got a video of Owen falling off Anthrax at Baildon Bank, which is great for a laugh!

So you have managed to get away from Lancs occasionally, well done  :shock:  :roll:  :wink:
