Weird, the previous (more interesting post) seems to have avoided being sucked across to here.QuoteTuesday, 18 March 2014CadshawYesterday I popped out for a couple of hours in the morning. I initially went to Stanworth, and got shut down on the first move of Backslash Bash which was irritating as it felt OK two weeks ago when I was there with the Pasty Lord.I moved to Cadshaw. River blocks- wet. Giganticus- got nowhere. Red Wall.......Now Red Wall is somewhere I have battled with a fair old bit. It's oddly conditions dependent, very fickle. Yesterday was the best I've seen it. I did Brian Jacques second go, RoB stand second go. I had a brief look at RoB sit (the old starting foothold is gone) and I don't think the breakage makes a huge difference for me.I then looked at an old project - start in Brian Jacques, traverse the foul edges of RoB to dyno to the right arete jug and then carry on rightwards. Only one move I didn't do......But then, what about a low traverse? This took quite a bit of work (and Skin) but once I'd worked out a tricky knee scud and a weird kneeling move, I managed to link it after a dozen goes. Outcast 6c+??. Quite pleased. I also did a new dyno to the right of Hawkeye, going jug to jug. Great fun. Because it goes round the overlap it's a bit of a funny trajectory, which makes it all the more enjoyable. I'll call it Rakkety Tam 6b+ for now, sounds quite dyno like. I have a better video, but my PC is playing up so it's a 'phone video for now.The LankyTwat is back..........
