    significant repeats

    Niky did 2nd of Star power last year. I did both starts yesterday, they both feel very different to each other. Turners is slightly easier as you get the knee in straight away to come into the stand where as DV’s has a few hard moves to get to that stage. Both are worth doing just depends on...

    advice for Fontainebleau

    Hi, does anyone have any good advice on a trip to font in the van? We've been looking at a couple campsites but most aren't open till later on in the month (we leave the UK on the 1st of march) and the one that is open wont reply to emails/phone calls. Does anyone know of anywhere good to stay...

    Bring out your dabs

    People should probably care a little less about what others are doing surely?! I agree that it’s good to have boundaries as to what constitutes actually doing a problem but you can’t expect everyone to have the same standards or care all that much about said standards. I hate the “calling...

    Bring out your dabs

    Hadn’t even thought about that, seemingly lots of people have done so? I was only just grabbing the start LH seam and smaller people than me have done it. Happy to be corrected.

    The Prow at Kyloe / Eliminates

    I abbed down the prow last summer to give it a clean, the tree felling has resulted in some off the moss falling back revealing a massive jug at the top making the big lean over move redundant now really which is a bit of a shame.

    Not too far away this time! I had a go at that method the other day and failed utterly. I’m at the other end of the spectrum when it comes to flexibility like that. Strangely felt all in the right leg rather than the left heel

    Neds reclimbed mein vein sit start, not globally significant but looked pretty hard after the heel break. Suggested 8a+ but looks like another tricky heel.

    Topic split: Fear and Loathing in Llandudno

    Does anyone know how this knee bar worked? I’m around Llandudno tomorrow and having done the original method I’d be intrigued to try it out to see if I can do it this way. I know Joe’s a big lad and his body strength is probably better than mine so could be interesting to see if it works better...

    significant repeats

    forgetting the wet rock thing it does come across a bit demeaning of other peoples efforts when saying its easy and totally safe, when in reality its fairly tricky (not cutting edge but still tricky) and still 10m high. We've both fallen off the top and been fine but what happens if someone...
