Is there a new guide for Magic Wood, or is the Blocheart one still current?

Why not leave them in, I don't think it is a sin.

Does anybody have the latest topo, that they could scan and e-mail? (Assuming it isn't too many pages!)

Many thanks!

p.s. I have the Blocheart guide, but we may not get to the guest house during our trip  :-\

Hi I'm driving down to Magic Wood tonight and wondered if any one could possibly write out the directions from the bloc heart guidebook or if anyone has a better choice of words to use on which junction to take off the motorway and where to head for. It would be massively appreciated. I did have the guidebook but left it on the roof of my car in all the excitement when I got to Chironico a few months ago! :oops:
Thanks.
Dan

Ok, I did a search but didn't find much, so has anyone got any recommendations for easy 7s in the wood?

Stressman at 7a felt harder than any 7b in Magic Andi but I'm sure you'll manage  :whistle:

i think protektor is the must-do low 7 in the wood. think it gets 7a+ these days. zilliman is excellent too.

I'm pretty keen for Supernova, Cote De Seshuan and Piranja in August... are there any other classics you would get on ahead of these 3 in the high 7's/low 8's?

Thinking of having a look at octopussy, nes pt2, muttertag and Jack the Chipper as well as the aforementioned  :-\

And that sounds all so kosher and likely to make your fortune Tom.   :-\

NB:  I'd like to recommend some problems as per the request, but I can't remember many names (and those I can remember have already been mentioned).  Sorry.

Sudenfall is given 7b+ and is a path, but very good, needs a few extra pads.
Hohenrauch 7b+ - a magic wood classic, again bring lots of pads
Jack the Chipper, as mentioned previously is soft as at 7c and an excellent problem so should be on your list.
La Dance 7b+ - if you can mantel it's ok
Iron Butterfly 7b+ - good long prob with no really hard moves, soft at 7b+

It already is! Cheers bonners, I'm unbelievably psyched now, being stuck indoors isn't helping matters!

I think it was with our sequence of ignoring any holds under the lip Lore, then I hear of some beast doing it in good conditions in trainers and said 8a.. harsh! ;)

Does anyone know if Sofa Surfer is a bit low in the grade for 8a+ or is it 7c+/8a nowadays? Saw jennings on fool fighter to the right which looked excellent also. So many good lines, I really hope it doesn't rain  ???

p.s. Saw a video of Rhythmo Brachial (sp?) which looked very good but can't see it on the free online topo unless I am blind? Wasn't sure if it was another name for the problem Bodyblade, as it looked a bit like a blade  :shrug:
