Thanks for that. i remember it now. A bit of an Osman moment there as well.

[Andy R]

my pleasure.

 

tbh, I'm no fan of rock climbing, it's all alot of lycra and long hair if we're honest....but I do like watching crazy dudes doing crazy things, and he was most definitely a crazy dude.

Am I right to assume, by your posting of a photo of spinal tap, this somehow negates the possibility of the existence of lycra and long hair within rock climbing community..?

 

That single piece of evidence has blown my crazy theory right out of the water, I feel a fool...forgive me.

Im really into rock climbing but didn't do much last season. I find that if I have been rock climbing at the weekend I feel incredibly focused in the tree on monday. Enjoy!

See that SRT ascent at the end? That's nuts isn't it. I know a caver who and his team had to scale 1000m cliff in Russia to find a cave enterance on the side of the cliff. It was a 2000m drop inside to the cavern floor. Great expedition funded by the russians. I got a load of titanium Krabs out it. I hat caving. Any one done it? In fact don't bother, this is a rock climbing thread.

Thanks Jonsie for the DO footage. Crazy Indian

hi,

 

hey Jason James Gairn good effort on doing the corner I hear the top moves are getting a bit polished. I love North Wales and in the passed have been obsessed with it(check out my pictures in my profile).

 

Yeah I got into rock climbing as was getting frustrated with not enough good climbs in work. I feel rock climbing is total freedom with out saws, ropes holding you in places (not to say I dislike arb work) and exercises you mentally and physically.

 

I had a nasty injury at the beginning of last year and this has put me out of action for a while (Physically and abit of bottle too!). I have been back bouldering for a good few months but keen to get back into leading this summer (VS-E1). Anyone interested in getting out in South Wales or trips to North Wales as I have use of a club hut near Llanberris then drop us a line.

 

Cheers Steve
