I think the titles fairly self-explanatory!

No doubt kim will edit the footage and get it on beardown soon.

Effort youth....    

[dave]

for real?

[JR]

[Bubba]

Fuggin hell - nice one James

[Paz]

Nice one.  

Just thinking the other day, is the french grade still thought to be 8b+?  And have Neil Bentley or the Gresham or the Youth ever climbed harder than 8b on bolts?

[cofe]

go jennifer

[fatboySlimfast]

respect to matlocks premier steely fingered uber crimper......

[Fiend]

That's quite a bon effort as head-pointing goes!

I was there last year sometime when he was checking it on abseil and unclesomebody and toby b were falling off parthian repeatedly....impressive that he got it done. Damn young hotshots.

[ned]

good work

[Paz]

I'm feeling quite impatient, I'm sure you'd get it by tommorrow but I'll fill in the gaps now:
cos that would mean the hardest bit of climbing any of them have done is on a trad route, and I think that's pretty damn cool.

Update: NG's done 8b+, but he then at least equalled this on (or at least someway above) gear

[dave]

also heard a rumour that someone recently onsighted 3 blind mice above a snowdrift - any takers?

[Fiend]

With some of the snowdrifts recently you could have probably done a sitter straight into the crux of 3BM!

[fatneck]

Awesome effort! Looking forward to the vid!

[Johnny Brown]

for real?

word.

Fo real.

Just to prove he could climb harder, he also included a quick sketch to entertain the watching masses.

[Sloper]

fine efffort, the big question is what's next?

[Bubba]

Turn them steely fingers to Sampson?

[Johnny Brown]

The media had been informed...

[cofe]

take it you were after the bigger picture?

go kim.

[Buoux 8C]

Nice one James, sounds good,

Out of interest what gear is needed for Equilibrium, is that the only bit of gear on the whole route that James has in or is their some higher up, if so where is the gear? did he take any falls on lead?
can someone be specific with the sizes etc? and how easy the gear is to place?

[nik at work]

Bon effort.

Whats next?

Couple of cams in the break where James is above, then another in the pocket after the hard climbing to protect the top.
James can probably fill you in with the exact sizes.
He didn't take any lead falls - the move he sketched on was the slap to the pocket. You wouldn't want to fall off that move.
Good luck for the on-sight.

[Fiend]

Good luck for the on-sight.

 :dancing:  :rocker2:  

P.S. Nice pictures can you super size them please.

P.P.S. Agree with B-man, someone needs to do something with Sampson like climb it.

[chris]

yeah, good effort james, keep it up really really impressive.

samson...think buoux 8c should tackle that one after his recent school performances....dobbin told me you'd done perky pinky? last time i was up i knew you'd done the moves but not the whole thing....probably old news. unfortunately after my move back to manchester no school action and no internet so bit behind the times.

i thought someone had which is why it was downgraded in the guide to E6 7a.
