Who the fuck thinks the sheriff is 7A? A moron with a tiny cock and a smaller IQ yet a big ego is the only explanation.
You're sailing very close to the wind there saying The Sheriff is 7A+!Quote from: a dense loner on January 04, 2016, 10:14:56 pmWho the fuck thinks the sheriff is 7A? A moron with a tiny cock and a smaller IQ yet a big ego is the only explanation.
Friday: Woodhouse Scar with Dolly. It wasnt great conditions - bit muggy - T shirt weather no wind in the trees.. Managed the Sheriff with a left footlock until releasing to go to the arete and up. Felt 7A+ that way - certainly not the guide grade of 7B+. But its a class problem anyway - I really liked it. The other highlight was Radon Arete (superb) but the rest was a bit meh... lots of litter, glass, the odd syringe - it wasnt the best day to visit for sure...
Sorry to sound down on the Scar - i re-read what I wrote and I didn’t mean it to sound quite so negative.. (it doesn’t deserve the meh). I think we both bombed out super keen for a day on the grit and given the connies we should have gone elsewhere...

...pulled my gear out of Bat Route (which I had only left in on his request last autumn!) and it was in a shocking state; corroded biners and incredibly brittle tape.
Also down to bodyweight on left arm 3 finger drag, right arm still stuck at 1.25kg assist though.
Is that really shocking? Sounds about right for a full year hanging on a seepy crag in Britain to me, especially given that last autumn/ winter was the something like the wettest on record.
Getting spooked by the in-situs on Free and Easy doesn't seem quite so unreasonable in light of Jim's post. Why doesn't it get stripped?! The krab that's hanging off some static has left a scratch mark from where it's been swinging in the wind that can seen from the approach!
Did a little warm up before each trip out. Nothing structured, just some hangs and pulls on the fingerboard while I was milling around packing the bag. Not sure how much of a difference it made but suspect I'll really feel the benefit in winter when projecting.
Fingerboard, max hangs. Pleasingly solid at 5kg assist after a week off. I have done 4 in a row at this weight I think so time to drop it which will doubtless be totally desperate. Also down to bodyweight on left arm 3 finger drag, right arm still stuck at 1.25kg assist though.
Sorry, by this, do you mean you're stronger on your three finger drag hangs than presumably four finger half crimps? Is this the same for a lot of people? Interested as I am significantly weaker on my three finger drag and wonder if it's something I should be working on.
