In reply to Orkita:
We were there today on The Remnant. The rock was freezing cold and looked even worse than usual. But the mythical sticky damp and friction from the cold were fantastic. So we had a great day.
It's totally bizarre climbing - real Marmite stuff. None of the normal spot a hold and pull on it malarky. Rather a lot of blind moves trying to find a side pull or burly pinch you can pull on from the 100s of awful side pulls/pinches within vision, step high on some awful, tiny polished foot hold from the 100s around you, pray your foot stays on (a weighted foot always slips at Cheddar), and make an incredibly powerful move only to have to repeat the whole process again and again for 30 feet. It's like some crazy, ultra flash pump game of chess, constantly analysing and getting frustrated yet is strangely enjoyable and sirenesque. Climbing at Ansteys and Torbryan seem like a walk in the park in comparison (hold, pull, hold pull (or not as the case may be)).
It was just a shame to have a branch of the Subaru Imprezza (or was it the Evo) Club and loads of bikers seriously destroying the peace for the whole day. How everyone marvelled and gasped at all that high pitched revving and exhaust farting.
Have fun if you visit. I want to go back soon to get spanked on some mind-blowing craziness once more.
