You know it must be dry when people are doing hard things on Southern Sandstone; for hard stuff to get done at this time of year is almost unheard of. But we've just heard (thanks, Ian Hufton) that Jim Wardle has completed his new boulder problem, Vandal, at High Rocks. Given Font 7c/7c+, it climbs the line of sloping holds through the roof three metres left of Judy. All it needs now is a repeat to confirm the grade...
