What's all this about a big day out at Wimbeery then? Appointment with Fear repeated?

"Big day at Wimberry yesterday Tom Randall gets 2nd ascent of 'Appointment with Death' Pete Whittaker adds new E9"

From WC's Facebook...

The new E9 is apparently the arete below Appointment with Fear. And Nathan Lee also did Order of the Pheonix.

Thought it might have been as I saw people on it last week, good effort and nice to see some traffic at Wimberry.

In reply to Red Rover:

Tom Randall's blog has a good report and some pics, and I saw a vid of Nathan's lead of OotP but I don't recall where, just google his name and Wimberry.

I believe it was filmed, so watch this space I guess.

In reply to Removed User: Cant believe these routes got done they look impossibloe. It was such a good weekend in Chew, the brilliant high summer days you get up there but in May.
 Red Rover 11 May 2013
In reply to ro8x: Wherre is disconsolate, the new E6, is that the arere of appointment with death?
In reply to Red Rover: No, it,s Consolation Prize climbed on the right. How obvious was *that* for a new route but it's taken this long for someone to see it. Great work.

In reply to Calder: Thanks. Great shot. The new Meshuga!

In reply to Frank the Husky: I heard Freddie's Finale also got repeated last week but I find that hard to believe...

In reply to Removed User: If I climb a VS in chew I usually go home feeling heroic, those E9's must be pretty shocking.

Stupendous as all these E6 to 9 routes are, I will still be impressed by the ordinary cragsman who can say he ticked the Big Three in a day.
 Red Rover 11 May 2013
In reply to Tom Valentine: Whats the big 3?
 Tom Valentine 11 May 2013
In reply to Red Rover:

I was going to say "The three HVS's which would put most E1's to shame" but have just checked, seen and noted a couple of upgrades.
