My Dyno's bigger than your Dyno

Can we include dyno's on routes too? Or would that need to be in the chuffin section.....
 
Maurice Gibb is big, maybe in the same league as the roaches dyno but as its diagonal its hard to make a good guess, i'm sure its more than 2m handhold to handhold though. As a comparison I was nearly touching the finishing hold on MG (only tried it for one session), I can do the Roaches one fairly easily but i was probably a full foot short on Rainbow Rocket!
 
The Clockface project, Rainbow Walls, Slate. This is well over two metres. I'm not sure if it ever been jumped. It's there for the taking.
 
Froggy dick (7b) and smatch (7b) are both pretty big but not too hard. froggy dick is definately the harder of the two. Kangaroo city and mr. dynamite in font are both examples of dynos that you dont have to travel along way on for them to hard.
Niche dyno at brimham is good again but not too taxing. The distance on this isnt the problem its holding the top hold.
catarpult looks amazing but very hard, another one on the to do list.

Never been to Wimberry what is the project dyno like?
 
Nails, green, the starting holds keep breaking and it's got poor footholds if i remember rightly. There's an animated gif of JB falling off it somewhere.

Woah!!! We're interested only in distance here. Doesn't matter how hard a dyno is, only how far it is between holds. It can be V6 but if it's 250cm between holds it wins!!!!

I can see I'll have to have a trip to the Roaches and Gibb Tor, with both my boots and tape measure.
 
Don't think it's had a repeat yet and I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet, but Owens "seven foot dyno" at Pex is around 213cm. BenF, we'll have to have a measuring sesh soon!!
 
Thanks HKS. That's a nice looking move. Holds appear about 2 inches further apart than you are tall........ Any clues?
I may not have found the longest dyno yet but I've got quite a few projects to do!!!
Thanks UKB posse
 
Fatneck is right. Apprently the "7 foot dyno" at Pex is exactly tht making it a confirmed 213cm. Im pretty sure that only lanky owen has done it. got him a clip on Sky Sports Extreme channel or summat. The famous lanky poo.

Bloody hell, I've not seen that in a while, I've got a few more grey hairs now but still the same vest! I'm 6'2" and it's an arm length too, Roaches dyno is atleast 7' and really similar but slightly shorter than Catharsis: http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.html?id=55937. Hold to hold Maurice Gibb is shorter than the Roaches dyno so I think it can be counted out...
 
Yeah, I've done that one. It uses a hold on the inside of the crack. It's really big flight-wise, but not massive hold-to hold. Good though. Massive jug on top and potential for eliminates using different hand holds and footholds. Kind of a make-your-own dyno-to-suite type affair.

no hand holds though...

Looks like it might go from an undercut?  Does seem pretty big though.  Another 200+cm effort. I'm not sure we can allow it as it can be done as per the video, which isn't that impressive.
We need more accurate data on these flights!!
 
Possibly nothing that huge, but some great dyno shots in this thread:

The Buckstone is 175cm from base of the chips to the lip of the top... if anyone is interested...

Thanks. Did you measure it? If so, well done for getting into the mood of this topic!!!
Funny how dynos we think are Big aren't as long as you may expect. :-\
