Bradders said:We should point out that what you've done there Dan is not the line as envisioned by the first ascensionist, as the FA of Varian the Librarian topped out over to the left not direct.
Back around.
Bradders said:I don't know actually, surely Dan's is the real first ascent since he used all the available holds?
:-\ :lol:
Bouldering guide came out in 2008. Steve might know the whys and wherefores of The Prow, but most(?) of the boulder problems have been topped out, I think. We've just now stopped topping them out.
Good little bit of Kyloe trivia which Steve told me about the other evening. What we now normally call Jocks and Geordies is actually called Jock's, which was climbed to the break by Cubby. A group of north-easterners, clearly feeling left out, then topped it out and named the full line Jocks and Geordies.
That's the first time I've ever heard that.Was down at Kyloe today, was nearly a write-off of a drive with a misty approach but it dried up and despite being savagely cold was a very good session with amazing friction.
A few of us did various versions of Jocks and Geordies, but a local(ish?) said the left hand pocket is out for the SS but OK for the traverse start - are there rules or are they fully non-eliminate?
Kinda crazy that I've climbed over 20 years and never been to Kyloe in before ha!
Nah, it's just that wee bit far for day hits from Glasgow and I'm not a big fan of short trad with only 2 or 3 pieces of gear per route.Not been to either Kyloe???
Yeah, I think it's just hearsay, possibly heresy, or maybe both.That's the first time I've ever heard that.
I'd be on board with no lh pocket on yorkshireman
No. I've been to Northumberland a grand total of 5 or 6 times. Maybe twice to Bowden, once to queens once to rothley and once to Kyloe. Or something. Dumby is only 30 mins away...But you've been to Bowdens quite a few times?
I'm not trying to claim it was the right decision, just the decision that has occurred...I'm kinda with SAChris on this one. Waiting for Puntonious to work out that Northumberland has typically 0.025% of the yearly rainfall of Dumby....
I think it likely doesn't make much difference.Yeah, I think it's just hearsay, possibly heresy, or maybe both.
Seems weirdly eliminate without it, that said, there are a few vids showing people doing it the harder way without the pocket.
