you could at least tell us where the stuff you've already done and named is in relation to the stuff i've listed, or indeed if some of them are the same. if you're going to post on a public forum telling us all about this stuff you've done you may as well make good with the facts when asked or whats the point in posting up in the first place!

It does seem a bit pointless posting anything at all if you're then going to be overly cryptic about where things are.

I for one am totally confused by this thread. :shrug:

it's like a complex puzzle. three pages in and i feel we're on the cusp of something.

Maybe we need a password or something to get into the secret den?

Pigeon submarine?

Squirrel trilby?

Blancmange?

(that's my 3 goes used up)

Jacqusie is merely throwing you into confusion to get the hounds off the scent to allow Iain to get his doings done  :)

that's quite a long password grimer. isn't there like a 16 digit limit, or perhaps 6 syllables?

Perhaps Cofe meant that three pages in we're on the cusp of the third page and the fourth page (which by the above definition would be correct).

It'd make about as much sense as the rest of this thread anyway.

Dave - the things I've done - only 3 squrriels know about and two of them are blind...

..follow the crooked tree past the forked branch that meets the moon only on st swithens day - and then go left at the small rabbitt hole where retch the rabbit lives - and he don'ts knows nowt as he was killed by a falling fat arsed boulderer...

Clear now?

Ok lets get specific. As far as I am aware, the ladies buttress area exists as follows (described as facing the crag):

On the left there is a leaning overhanging wall terminating in a ledge about half way up the full height of the crag, easier rock above. with a narrow rock landing, problem on crimps up the right hand side of the wall, this is iains crimpy problem, seems in the 7b-7c range.

Right of this is an easy chimney.

Right of the chimney is a tower-like buttress, with a warmup juggy traverse at head height and a couple of V3-4-5 highballs (i.e. routes) mentioned in grimers script.

Around to the right of the tower and further up the hillside about 6m away is a buttress with a cleaned flared crack-feature and 2m to the right of it is a rounded looking arete, both about 4-5m tall, bad landings. as far as I am aware these are also iaiainin's problems/projects.

Just down the hill from that and to the right a bit is a little free-standing block rounded cleaned slabby block with an OK landing. 2 slabby aretes, the right one is easier and uses a pod-like face hold to start, the left problem is harder and more tenuous. we did these a few weeks ago and had already been cleaned.

So how does the above relate to the things you're talking about?

I'm out on Sunday if you fancy a trip? - as Grimer says - its all a bit secret / project driven & best quiet at the mo...however...

I'm happy to have peeps come and do some stuff thats not been done in the woods -

I'm sure the problems will run out soon as I need to go climbing elsewhere!!

Are you talking about this problem?



I cleaned it up in 2003 climbed and posted it on here as Fishermans Friend (6b/c ish?)
It had obviously been climbed before, but I spent a while making it climbable.

:agree:

all sounds a bit :wank: to me. you're welcome to your projects si. how do you expect to find out if stuff has been done before unless you bring the information into the public? seems a bad attitude to me, especially with a guide in the offing. good luck grimer.

Does that win the award for most confusing page on Wikipedia?

I'd never read it b4, found it quite funny really. Hope it all worked out OK in the end in BMC Froggatt ... I'm sure Grimer was careful with the codex so that the secrets of the woods were not violated. Stired-up Ents can be vengeful.
