significant repeats

[Robsons]

Quality news about BR!!! She's been going from strength to strength recently...looking forward to her future!

 

[lukeyboy]

Didn't she once have a go on a UKB regular as well?

I hope we're not still talking about BR...

 

[dobbin]

Your hope is not in vain

Not sure if this is significant or not, but Sylvain Millet repeated Flight of Ideas at Stanage last spring, according to the Peak article in this mag : http://www.escalademag.com/escalademag-n%C2%B051

Mind you, I think he might be on the wrong side of the arete in that picture??

 

[Fiend]

He is indeed, the left side is a new P-Widdy E6 6c, done a year or two ago.

Mayan Smith-Gobat, together with David Falt, has made the third free ascent of Donnafugata on Torre Trieste, Civetta, Dolomites. 750m, 8a ground-up, in a 32 hour single push with no bivy gear. :bow:

Here's a video with Robinson doing it, for an idea of how hard it looks.

Awesome. This finally puts to bed all the bollocks talked by naysayers about her only being good because she's light / small as she's clearly heavier than P-Rob.

Not enough gangstaisms in that video, an unpimped bmw is hardly hood is it :shrug:

The kid only managed it because of small fingers, obviously :geek:

Even my late grandma at 93 was more gangsta than P-Rob.
Then again: small fingers, every hold is a jug, if I had started at her age, etc. etc.

Wonder if she will "do a Nalle" and downgrade it?

 

[boulderingbacon]

just wanted to give phil rose a mention as previously said he did keen roof the other day and made it look piss. He deserves everything he gets out of climbing too as he puts so much training in. beast!

Some folks may have seen it on his blog already but notable fat man Barrows has climbed Quenelle Trophy/Les Maux de la Fin, 8c+ in Gorges du loup
