another pseudo project bites the dirt.

[Dave Flanagan]

<p>Pretty impressive eh? In Connemara in the west of Ireland. Granite, highball, steep. See theshortspan for more info.

Granite, highball, steep.

Is it the Holy Stone of Clonrichert?

Quote:where?

Brownstones. The bit nobody goes to.

So it turns out nobody does go to the bit that nobody goes to. Except to look for this problem which I said was in the bit that nobody goes to.

Though I don't know which bit that is, apart from the bit where someone is always burning something, and it's not there. Anyway, I was only jesting and expected incredulity in response, not for someone to tell me they thoroughly explored the bit that nobody goes to...

So to set the record straight, it isn't at Brownstones and I aint telling where it is cos I'm saving it for myself. Don't nobody else go to the bit that nobody goes to. People who go there don't always return. (and we wonder why the smell of burning can be so overpowering sometimes...)

Dave, how high is that boulder? Been trying to work it out from looking at the vegetation. The grass makes it look only about 3m (big grass maybe?) but the ferns make it look about 5m, which I guess is closer to the truth. Ladbrokes have suspended betting on said boulder, saying “This lot swing more than a pirate ship at a theme park — it's too dangerous to bet on what might happen.” No wait, that's big brother. And there was me getting it mixed up with real life...   :?

[cofe]

no. has been tried by dawes etc. little or no holds either on face or arete as i understand. it's at far left end of crag after plexity etc.

Might have a go at this again on the weekend, if the weather stays dry. Trying to convince myself it will be a bit easier after a summer of getting stuff done, and some cool conditions, but moron likely I will get precisely nowhere again.

Looks like a picture that r-man would post.

[a dense loner]

what! is that a boulder problem chris :shock:  

[r-man]

Well, it's been just over a year since I started this thread, and I'm wondering have any of these projects been done?

Bonjoys mystery boulder in the trees, or the one in Ireland, or the problems on Mother's Pet?

And has anyone tried sorting out access to Craig David?

[Dave Flanagan]

The prow in Galway has been done.

[SA Chris]

what! is that a boulder problem chris :shock:  

Linked to wrong picture before, got right one up now.

The previous pic was just a fun one mover I did.

[Bonjoy]

No action on any of those i'm afraid r-man. Partly because I don't boulder in summer. Was trying some good projects at Birchen though on Sunday. Will post some pics up seeing as they turned out to be harder than expected and might as well be thrown to the masses.

[Johnny Brown]

Cheers Bonos, guess they'll still be chalked, I'll be up there this avo...

[a dense loner]

 They are the arete right of Gritstone Megamix and the wall right of Obstructive Pensioner. Try Keenus if you want someone there with beta.

[Johnny Brown]

was only winding you up, i'm in no fit state to steal your projects. i'd edit those back into the ether if i were you....

[Stu Littlefair]

nope! too late. Now, where's my trusty pad and spotter....

Oh, fuck. I'm stuck at work, aren't I. Pics Bonjoy?

[Bonjoy]

As promised, the Birchen files.


Looks easy doesn't it. It's not.


Again turns out to be harder than appearances suggest.
