significant repeats

[luckyjez]

Pete Robins E7. A few people with direct experience of it thought E8. Still, it's Curbar.

For what its worth, I thought it probably deserved the 8

Andy, I can clearly remember your spectacular barn door of the last hard move well above the RP, and wondering how far I'd have to run to take in enough rope. Happy days!

Indeed! My clearest memory of the day is that just as I finished squeaking my boots Neil Foster and Glenn Sutcliffe walked round from under Prophet. It must have been immediately obvious what I was about to try. I distinctly remember saying 'You two can fuck right off!' and they duly obliged - I definitely didn't want an audience.

Pete bridgewood from leek did the possible 2nd ascent of k.p nuts at the roaches

Woooahhh, big news! Any more details?

he's been wanting it for a while now,he was going to head down to ready brek after.he's very close to that.
wont be the last time you will read his name.he has got a younger brother who's as strong as fuck as well.
me and the dick with 2 dogs were at newstones so missed the action but the carrier pigeon soon reached us

Did the ascent happen around lunchtime on Saturday?

Always happy to oblige!

That's a long time ago, Andy. It must have been the day I led Forbidden Planet (which I'd watched John do the first ascent of back in 1984), and then Glenn walked up Right Eliminate - which was dripping wet - after first declaring "offwidths hold no fear for me".

I remember thinking it was a good example of putting your money where your mouth is!

That you and Andi are the new Colin FFord and Gary Cooper. ;D

Grimer, you bastard, that is some mantle to have to carry.

Time to get outta Leek :'(

I guess that many of you will now know that Pete Whittaker and Tom Randall soloed Ray's Roof last weekend (Pete did it twice)
Here is a link to Pete and Tom writing about their ascent - http://alexekins.co.uk/2010/11/pete-whittaker-and-tom-randall-talk-about-soloing-rays-roof

have been lucky really as one of the boulders I was trying stays dry in the rain so I could continue to work this. It is called Alphane Moon (8A) and is a really fun climb. Kind of like board climbing on small but positive crimps. It was in varying condition as the low cloud often meant that the holds would be a bit damp but often it was in fairly good nick. It finally succumbed a couple of days ago

Charlie Woodburn has just repeated Walk Of Life.

 

[Stubbs]

Wow, he must have been wearing a headtorch!

Don't get you? :shrug: Surely you can see i posted that hours ago? Obviously not...

 

[JohnM]

[Stubbs]

Aye caught that on FaceCrack. Awesome Charlie!

 

[monkey boy]

Micky did From Dirt Grows the Flowers yesterday, just before the snow came! Impecable timing!

 

[duncan]

Hazel Findlay has done the Bachar-Yerian, alternating leads with Will Stanhope. Female ascentionists of the B-Y must be a pretty select club.

Not Hazel:
