Monoblock repeat

[saintlade]

Good effort on the send Mick, have stood below Monoblock a few times and have on occasion had the balls to cast a furtive glance up it but not actually even dare to try and pull on. Looks nails.

As the not so 'antigue' photo shows a certain local also did this last week.

 

[Andy F]

I'd heard said local was injured Fine effort indeed.

 

[fatneck]

I heard the same too! Excellent effort Pete :beer2:

 

[Jim]

James repeated this today, took him about 6 or 7 goes.
Good effort considering the rain, will post some photo's later

It was done mid to late 80s.

1985 IIRC

 

[Will Hunt]

Dat's well boss, lad. Wish I was home now.

I was wondering if anyone had any idea when Phil Davidson repeated Monoblock? And Andy Popp?

 

[mrjonathanr]

Did Phil repeat it?

 

[andy popp]

Yes, Phil did it. I think I did it during foot and mouth, whenever that was.

Thanks Andy, I was hoping you'd reply

 

[Adam Lincoln]

Pete Chadwick (latter on toprope) but its not massively significant.

That was while he was waiting for a knee op. He went back after op and topped out.

Ps. Did you ever go back and top it out Andy?

This is from Joe Healey.

From Joe. think it was 84 but not sure may have been 85.phil did it a week or so after but did the easier more direct start

Good knowledge, thanks Adam.

Seems like it was a pretty hard piece of climbing for the time...and now! Doesn't seem to get many repeats at all.

Probably a style too…. And if you are short you have no chance. Min 5’10?

Cant remember how tall Andy is.

Never mind
