Dave's just another word for word, word.

[Jim]

or a tv channel

[dave]

Q: What's Dave short for?

A: He's not, he's 6'1.

[Jim]

so you finally admit it

[dave]

thats of course rounded-up for brevity, i'm only 6'½ really.

[Andy B]

 6'½ ! Thats 6 feet 6 inches!

I knew it!

[Johnny Brown]

Dani opened his account today, not too shabby though it was a bit warm in the sun. He definitely improved as the day went on, should be tearing the place apart later in the week.

[Fiend]

Wait a mo, the Euros are visiting during dry weather this time?? Highly irregular behaviour!!

[lagerstarfish]

Dani will have a very distorted view of the Peak. The sun was out, the rock was dry, friction was ok, the Plantation was almost deserted and Dave Simmonite was actually climbing.

[mini]

and Dave Simmonite was actually climbing.

Thats way more news worthy than Andrada doing Deliverance!

Not that Daves climbing is in any way impressive!

[Eddies]

Someone should point a few of them at something like Rays Roof.. that would be good to see.

[SA Chris]

The route first climbed by a foreigner?

[Percy B]

Adam hasn't got Ray's Roof wired though....

[dave]

fuck stanage - I hope someone is going to cut to the chase and take them to the pinches wall. (L1, R1) L3, R12, L14, R14 etc.

[Stu Littlefair]

Dani's already been to the Tor, and very pleased he was too. Not sure what he got up to (i was too embroiled in my own saga), but I can tell you Weedkiller traverse took him four goes....
















...the tor strikes again

[account_inactive]

I assume that was an attempt footless

[Jaspersharpe]

Once upon a time when everyone else did routes I was on my own doing laps on Powerband as training for...........er...........doing laps on Powerband more smoothly when a diminutive Frenchman with goggly eyes came wandering down. Between attempts on Mecca he'd decided to see what delights lay at the right hand end of the crag so I pointed out the various routes and problems before directing him to the hallowed traverse itself.

He struggled desperately with the start and took about five goes to get the cross through move before failing miserably to do any of the middle section despite numerous attemps and every foot sequence I could suggest. I hadn't the heart to tell him that the difficult bit was at the end as he seemed such a nice chap and he gave up and went back up to Mecca with a cheery gallic shrug.

Think Jibe had more joy with the routes but it was another example of how The Tor works in mysterious ways.

[Stu Littlefair]

I assume that was an attempt footless

Nope. It seems Dani has very fat fingers and they wouldn't fit properly up my sphincter in the slots on the traverse.

[Johnny Brown]

Didn't Dani do Ben's roof second go though?

I too struggle on Powerband, I've never got as far as pulling on it looks so shit.

[dave]

To paraphrase an idiot I once knew; "it looks deceptive".

[Jaspersharpe]

[Andy B]

I fucking love the Tor.

[dobbin]

Me too. Lime season still in full effect.

[Stu Littlefair]

I'm going tomorrow. No finer venue.

Dani did Ben's roof second go, yes. And walked up a number of the 7cs. He would have flashed ben's roof if he'd listened to reason.
