There's also dry-tooling in the Lakes (The Works). But M8 and above is surely too easy to include?!

Nice one Chris, seems you've been crushing a bit lately. Didn't you do dawes rides a shovel head a couple of years ago too? Or is that now borderline E7?

anyways, nice going.

you missed that part about Fish being sponsored by Hobnobs and Sennies.

Great effort, wonder how many people can lay claim to that for the UK as a whole. Yes was also going to mention M8 at the Works but that would be a formality and he may well have done it already?

Cheers all.

Pete I think Senny's would possibly be the most detrimental sponsor's in the world!

Nice one Chris... Any thoughts on NBAFT. Is it safe? What french grade would you suggest. What the walk in, also...

He could have got this ages ago if he was after the glory. I totally believe him when he says that this is just the happy result of getting out and climbing for the sake of climbing.

An under the radar hero !

Well done Chris.

Hi Adam, it splits into 2 sections with a good rest in-between. The bottom half has some tricky moves and is a bit necky. The top is safe enough (if the pegs hold) and the crux. Some of the pegs aren't the best.

It's reckoned to be around f8a. The walk in is a right slog, though a scenic one at least.

Anyway, great piece of rock, get up there!
