In reply to paul_in_cumbria:
Hi Paul,
I think I've got the 'Ron was there' tick as well! Now this certainly used to be easy, if you went to the Plantation but, as 'the world's worst boulderer' (yup - it's official), I think I've only been on (what we laughingly call) the Green Traverse twice. The first time was 'cos Will Perrin wanted to do it and we saw Martin; the second time, there was only Big Ron and me (yes, I know, I know... from the sublime to the ridiculous) on the crag.
I love the Grimer tale about doing that traverse on the big boulder (is it the Pebble?) Egged on by his mates, as he approached the corner, he muttered, "Arms, do your stuff!" Grabbed the corner in triumph, only to be confronted by Big Ron coming round it from the other side, wagging his finger roughishly and giving a reproving, "Tut, tut!" To everyone's delight, poor ole Grimer went bright red with embarrassment.
Who says bouldering's boring?
Have a great year!
Mick
