UKC

so i've started a couple of projects for this year and i can see them turning into rather drawn out sieges as they are a few grades harder than i am capable of at the moment.
That's all good as its the only way i'm going make big improvements this year but i'm interested to hear about other peoples epics and how much time and effort they have put into a route or boulder problem.
I figure i'm going to need a few good stories to keep me going this year so what's your best ?
