Does any one know what the problem is on the left of utopia block going from crimps in the break to a J shaped crimpy sidepull ting up and left and then again for the higher break. Couldn't get the sidepull quite right..... good prob tho reckon must be in mid V grades

Is it just right of the left arete.
Is it this?

If so I think it is v5/font 6c in the old northen soul.

Thats the one

james · August 22, 2003, 09:55:12 pm

going from left to right I can reach the windows button with my right and almost to the start menu button with my left (I can dislicate my left thum which gives me a bit more span). Daves is HUUUUAAAGGGGEEEEEEEEEE!!! Can anyone beat him. The chalange is on.
Cheers

James

Dave, I doubt the guide will be out by then. I am beset with various techy issues that I had not anticipated - a steep learning curve 'n' all that.

Anyway, on a more positive note, if you have any specific queries I will do my best to answer them.

Cheers, Simon.

I'm just tickling the windows key. I will pledge a pound reward to the man who can do control to control on one of those ergo jobs - supported by photographic evidence...

Jim · August 24, 2003, 10:14:08 pm

whats that key for next to the windows key? looks like a filling cabinet with a mouse pointer over it - can just touch that one

Thanks, I will let you know.

think it generally brings up whatever menu you get by rightclicking.

Mike_H · August 26, 2003, 09:23:21 am

I'm more a windows key man myself.

Anyway checked out the Cromlech boulders on Sunday for an hour on my way to meet my mates, that V4 lip traverse was pretty smart indeed.

Then Monday drove back and checked out Utopia, Wavelength, Pie Shop and a couple of other boulders.

Got to say I was well impressed, that V5 on Utopia is a right stretch couldn't stick the sloper. But managed to do a V4 on the Utopia going through those pockets which was nice.

I'm looking forward to the bouldering guide now, and will probably check the area out in more detail.

Did you use that tiny intermediate, thats one small crimp.

Mike_H · August 26, 2003, 08:42:20 pm

No I was firing up from the good crimp, so it came down to timing more than anything.

That crimp was way small.

Jim · August 26, 2003, 09:25:57 pm

Any other small crimps out there? Which is the smallest crimp in the world?

Bubba · August 26, 2003, 09:29:36 pm

That one on that climbXmedia "Four From Font" vid is pretty dang tiny. Fingernails only..... :shock:

dave · August 26, 2003, 09:46:24 pm

the worlds smallest crimp is probably at font.

Can't be on grit cos the macro structure of most gritstone (will the possible exception of slipstones and very far skyline) is larger than the kind of grattons in font.

Are you sharing this on any p2p software at all....?

Bubba · August 26, 2003, 11:09:48 pm

We've got it on our waste network (only 3 of us set up so far) - can give you the necessary access if you like?

mark · August 27, 2003, 08:37:55 am

Can I have access too, please?

Bubba · August 27, 2003, 09:11:14 am

Have added you to the necessary group - you should see the forum now. I'm going to write a quick FAQ for how to get set up.

dontfollowme · August 27, 2003, 11:25:01 am

That would be great. I have the exe file already so I Just need the details.

Bubba · August 27, 2003, 11:27:58 am

'Tis done, refresh your main page and you'll see the goods.

Not sure if my box will be running, but Dobbin is usually up.

just watched this t'other day.
was small that one but he had at least 3 fingers on it - bet there are smaller mono fingernail crimps out there :shock:

dave · September 08, 2003, 01:52:37 pm

what about the tiny fingernail undercut on monoblock at pex. I saw it the other week but i didn't have a TEM to hand to inspect it.

Dave Flanagan · September 09, 2003, 02:11:48 pm

Would any North Wales heads like to hazard a guess as to what the weather is going to be like at the weekend. Are we likely to get something done of we come over on Saturday? thanks

Pantontino · September 09, 2003, 02:28:45 pm

The forecast is mixed, but - as I'm sure you know already - it is always possible to find dry rock: If not down the Lleyn, then Parisella's, Split Infinity, Hylldrem...

I was afraid you might say that, it just that it a ways (not to mention 70euro on the ferry) to go for that. Thanks.
