Tourist start

First did it in 2011. Great evening session with Tom.

Nice to repeat this after 20 years!

Soooo cold and windy, blew off many times trying to control the swing on the jump move,

local start, can I call myself local now?

didnt quite have the beans to finish it in a session, what a great route

local but not local. remember that.

Tourist

Tourist start, retro-flash

Local start

Tourist start. 2nd session. Chuffed

Tourist start. Worked out the local start afterwards but didn't have the beans to do the whole thing again

Tourist start

Tourist start. Managed it on my own with one pad but wasn't psyched about the local start!

Workin' dem moves. Best link was from the Tourist start to the hold before the wide pinch. Game on.

Tried a fair bit over the years, felt easy today once I used some better drop knee beta.

Local start. Second go. https://vimeo.com/187491328

Only took 2 sessions to send, did it from both the tourist tick and the proper start today!

Another session needed

End of day play. was rushing goes a bit but all good training. Managed to do from tourist start.

Tourist tick!

Fell twice after holding swing! Next time

Did the chossy local start this time

Managed the full climb in four attempts.

local start.

Psyched. Took a few evenings of failure and then when it finally went it felt quite easy.

first try on it, elt good and managed to link moves together

Done the tourist start loads, but never the full thing until today.

Got all the moves except the big one...

Local start, felt rather easy for 7C. No crux, just hard to link

Local Start

7B+

Totally brilliant

Felt pretty weak at the start of the session but managed to stick the crux move (pulling on just below) at least 4 times (previously only stuck it twice).

Just about managed it in two halves again from tourist start. Didn't feel particuarly strong today.

Managed it in two halves from tourist start. Should go with a little more work.

still two moves I can't do; one to come back to

Wild day, 2nd go in the dark after doing the Bus Stop start yesterday in 3!

Had a play on the lower moves up to the crux

Sent from tourist start, then worked worked the other start and did after a few burns. Psyched!

From tourist sit to bus stop jug. Baltic!

Did the tourist in 5 mins yesterday and should have done the local very quickly, but fell off with a hand on the lip. Had to come back today to finish it off. Classic!

Tourist start. Surprise send - mega chuffed!

Tourist. First go today after getting pumped out yesterday.

Original start. Fell off the top out late yesterday! Managed 1st go today at 8am after doing tourist start.

Worked the big move from the slopey hold to the finger jug from a standing start. Managed to stick it but really need to think about feet rather than where my hand is going.

Reworked the forgotten start moves again from Local start up to crux. Moves felt easier and closer from what I remember. Managed to get into the jug this time and take a slow swing out but not hold it. Pretty happy.

Tourist start but as a local I have no excuse now to do the local

Got on video this time, 2nd go

local start

Tourist start

From gentleman's start this time, feels half a grade harder

Too hot for anything else, or for this infact

on tour.

Tourist Start-Craggy 6b

Tourist start cos bored of dragging my heels and arse across the ground at the start, much better from the jug

Tourist start. Local arse drag start next, balls!

One of those times when everything just feels solid - pulled on and just did it, crux move static, still had beans for the top-out, great to have a bit of a gauge of current form.

Reworked the forgotten start moves again from Local start up to crux.

Tourist start.

cool line, wanted to do this for a while

Repeated For a video, although failed to record it again!, battled to get it done again!

Local start.

So happy to get this done!

Worked on the start moves.

Amazing climb, classic!

Tourist start. climbing high point! local start next!

Did the first half and the crux from the locals start. Now to work on the second half and link it.

Only the tourist start, long overdue

Locals start. Conditions were against us but it went in the end. So happy!

Went back for the original start :)

Great problem, 10 goes, not as hard as the hype makes out.

Tourist start, far left start will go next time

Finally!!!!!! one of the best moments in my climbing life! tourist start tho, so the full tick should come soon.

Got it wired then fell off the crux from the start a lot, wil come back fresh and get it quick!

Proper start

Wanted to do this problem for a long time. Went down fairly easily after all! Ace!!

classic problem

Original start. Then caved to peer pressure and ended up in the stream! : /

Tourist start, fell off on the lip on the original straight after!

3rd try after working the moves

held the move to pocket but couldnt get my foot back on.

Awesome. Fell off the last move once the previous day. Fell off it twice today and decided I'd just have one more go and leave it for a few days. Sketched the top but held on.

After a week of working the line (and not even being able to do the crux at the beginning) it was pretty gutting to fail on the last move!

two sessions spread out over two days. Maybe because im short or my power endurance isnt very good but this seemed pretty solid for the grade. A qoulity problem though and very pleased to get it done!

Yeeeyhooo! Only tourist start but still super pleased. Had it well dialled so was just a matter of getting everything right. Felt strong on it today, couple of half links then did it second try. Nice to do it in front of wads too

Tourist start

At last! Only took about 4 weeks! Only from the punters start I'm afraid (maybe V8?). Will have to back and do the proper start. Hopefully it wont take so long!

Original start. Sheep shit.

tourist's start...and I'm local - the shame of it!

So close but couldnt hold cutting loose at the crux

1 move away

Great problem!

got some good beta opff nic and tim, but no cigar. will go.

Brilliant line. One of the best.

Superb.

awesome! 1st 7c boulder

First time I trained specifically for a problem/route. Considered F8b at the time, before bouldering grades became wildly accepted.
