The name of the route was Fat Slapper, I seem to recall. Forgotten where it is, but am right in remembering that access to the crag is now banned?

Thanx

bummer it banned ;(

How big is the dyno on Thing on a Spring?

Simon Carters series of shots of HB doing the dyno are brilliant.

He posts on http://www.chockstone.org as onsight so if you wanted to ask him about it I am sure he will answer.
