Yikes!!! Even with the EEC pad mountain that looks ooh-ah scary, and damned tricky too - British 7a perhaps?

Oh my god - Bishop looks so fucking brilliant  - I reckon its gonna take me another two years to get myself state side, I've another youth about to drop (tonight, if the midwife is correct!).  Looks like a long wait till the RV family plan happens.  Sureley I should be thinking about babys, not trying to squeeze a quick one in tommorow morning in the pass;  ahh, the barrel, beautiful...

another top day had and one mighty fine new problem added to HK's ever expanding repatoire of climbs

Sleepy Hollow - V5 *** (probably worth about E4 too)

make funky out the cave to a hollow flake on the lip


work your way up the thin cracks until fear starts to kick in and the cracks run out


make a rather commiting rock over:


and reach for the somewhat blank and featureless arete


tip toe your way up the cracks previously used for hands and pray you dont fall

Nice colour coordination there stu =).

i wouldn't dare do anything but coordinate my colours for pics to be posted on this site - i'd end up on the what not to wear thread otherwise (damn inconsiderate of 5.10 to make the boots blue - kinda limits my cragging clothes collection.........)

Does Chip Shop Brawl have the same footless start as the E4?  All these years I thought it went the other side of the Arete.

[Bonjoy]

Starts at same point but heads straight up where High flyer goes left via pocket. Basically up arete on it's LH side until a strech left at mid-height (crux) gets you established on the face, up which it finishes.

[SA Chris]

I got as far as that big deep chalky pocket up and left of the bloke climbing (It's about V0), only to find it full of water and have to beat a hasty retreat.

How did Nodder get on on Dreamtime? You can't knock his ambition.

[grimer]

hey jonboy, on Chip Shop I just went direct up the arete the whole way, kinda a cheval, ie, the arete was always at my crotch. I thought it was probably the best bit of climbing i had ever done on grit. Is the 'indirect' as good? It looks a bit not right?

[mark]

the arete was always at my crotch

Gritstone frottage again, eh? You ought to be banned from the crags, you big pervert!

[Bonjoy]

Yeah, yeah, indirect schmindirect . It's the way i'd seen everyone else do it. Perhaps you should do a Skidoo and claim the direct as a new route and call it Chip Shop Brawl. The 'standard' way seemed the line of least resistance and hence 'the' line, it's is good and I dare say less scary.
 I might have to give the 'eliminate variation' a try sometime........











....should I ever purchase a teflon cricket box!

Will the link from Lowrider into it go?

[Jim]

Oh yes! and it looks like a proper stamina fest
