    Dinas Rock Conditions

    Its good to hear these problems are getting some attention now! Just a quick warning that a hold came off the start of Awesome shed the other day (left hand) It was still doable and doesnt change the grade but may be worth treating with a bit of caution. Also added a direct finish to this...

    significant repeats

    Hi Kev, I think Barnaby was a bit reluctant to grade Mega Ten too high as at the time he hadnt really climbed many Font 8's. Personally I think its got to be at least 8a, especially considering it took him so long and he is pretty much walking up 8a+'s recently! Might be coming over to South...

    [Southern Sandstone] [High Rocks] [8A+] Dont Pierdol

    Hi Jasper, I was the one who climbed the line to the right of the Beguiled (now called Judamondo) Its a great line and would love to know how you were trying it to see if we had the same ideas and what you thought the crux was! But if it was 20 years ago then not sure if you will still...

    [Southern Sandstone] [High Rocks] [8A+] Dont Pierdol

    Yeah it was really good for him to get it done as he has been trying it for a while. A lot of strong people have tried it in the past. Just need it to get a repeat so the grade can be confirmed but in my opinion theres no doubt of that. There are still some projects out there to be had. Note to...
