> (In reply to TobyA) I got mine too. It is great. Loads and loads of cool photos, even one of me girlfriend so I get big brownie points!! Good text, clear and a good read as well.
Is she the hard-cranking-woolly-hatted-blond on the Eggum pages?
I got a phone call from my mates up there two nights ago, Tony was bursting to tell me he had done his first ever 7a at Eggum. I wasn't sufficiently impressed with this and asked "have you done Vestpillaren?"
"Oh yeah... a couple days back"
"So what did you think? Brilliant eh?"
"yeah it was great..."
"So how did it go?!"
"oh you know, fine."
"Just 'fine'!?"
"well I s'pose we were a bit slow..."
"How slow is slow?"
"ummm... errrr... a bit over, like, 12 hours..."
I couldn't of course not point out that Toby and I did it in I think 8, they managed to do a half pitch variation and needed to make a tension traverse! I can't remember anywhere on the route where the old description "follow the 'effin obvious line" wouldn't have applied, but they still got lost. Simon, my other mate, then came on the line to tell me "trad climbing, is soooo last week!" I guess they should stick to following the bolts!
