Well done Ned. Does this get highballed these days?

[Palomides]

Looks like it from the FB photo. It also looks greener, wetter and more slippery than Kermit in the bath

Welford highballed it in 2006. Don't know of any other ascents.

[Nibile]

fantastic.

[Nick B]

I think cedric le chat did it with gear on a separate block out to the left, as well as the cam In goliath

But it says on that thread.........oh no, hold on.....



Good effort Ned! 

[cofe]

oh, and obviously, well done Nedward!

I thought I'd seen some photos/footage of team tickmark/mammut on it?

As Nick said cedric le chat did it on the team tick mark tour, gear both sides

Its here at 8:00



(some nice footage in there, especially the heli-cam shots of offspring)

Looking at this again, I wonder whether it's been edited by a climber? Certainly not someone who knows the routes. The number of times it cuts just before someone's about to do the crux is well annoying!

(Well done Ned on Samson. I spent quite a lot of time trying this about 12 years ago. I think it went in the 2001 Rockfax at E6 7a (rather than the E9 7b that Jerry gave it) as I suggested to Alan James that it couldn't be any harder than Careless Torque as there was just one nails move and Careless got E6 7a. Both Font 8a now I guess. I look forward to seeing the Outcrop footage of Ned on it to see how he did it. I could almost static the move due to long arms, with feet on pebbles, as opposed to the deadpoint method that Jerry uses in Hard Grit. Not quite though.. such a frustrating move. Twas an obvious challenge to higball, tho I thought it didn't quite get the coverage it deserved when Welford did it as teh ground aint exactly flat and you flag a lot sideways on the move after the crux. But that's Welford all over innit.

I cringe everytime I see London Wall painted white except for the silver of pre-placed gear..........

Paul Robinson flashed "Entlinge" 8c innit... 

[Stubbs]

Really? Awesome!  I was just about to post about Daniel Woods flashing it!  http://27crags.com/teams/27-crags/blog/daniel-woods-flashes-entlinge-8b-c

[Percy B]

I think its Daniel Woods who's flashed Entlige, Nibs. Pretty amazing effort! I bet he still hasn't finished todays Times crossword though....

[Nibile]

 
I have to stop training in the morning. it clearly affects my mental faculties...
sorry guys.

[dobbin]

Mick did Voyager yesterday.

[Doylo]

8b+ flash = ridiculous!!!! Big step forward, wowzer

[Jaspersharpe]

Mind blowing.

[cofe]

Mental.

[Reprobate_Rob]

Getting a bit cryptic here again lads.

Mick. Voyager. 8b+ flash.

I'd love to believe that Mick Dundee took a couple of days off wrestling crocodiles, to visit the peak district and flash Voyager sit start, but i do have a niggling doubt about this interpretation.
Anyone care to elaborate?

Daniel Woods has flashed an 8b+/c in Switzerland (see links below which clarify this  ).

Mick[y Page?] presumably got the sit start to Voyager yesterday after doing it from standing (< Tweet from Outcrop Films who were presumably filming it for their forthcoming 'Life on Hold' flim).

[Johnny Brown]

He just did the stand as per the tweet.

[dobbin]

That is correct. Presumably will be back for the sit soon, although perhaps not if weather is as bad there as it is here.

[slackline]

  I mistakenly thought Voyager was a sit start anyway (hence my confusion)
