Progress?

Image from Google It was great news to read that Chris Savage climbed Progress F8c+ at Kilnsey the other week. Theres a good wee video too. Chris has been on a 3 month career break (aka praternity leave with understanding partner) and had made quite an impact on Yorksire Limestone. In the last three years dozens of climbers [...]


Unlocking Progress

Image from Google Got back to Kilnsey for a project week. Since it was so cold I thought Id get back on Dr Crimp (year three). I was surprised by how polished its getting Yorkshires most popular 8b+? After a few hours I still couldnt do the jump move. Although I ruled out my old beta with [...]

After dedicating my last trip to Urgent Action I was keen to finish it and try some other routes. Starting at Malham I finally got on Unjustified F8c. Having tried Power Ranger and Transform to the right many [...]


Malham and Kilnsey

Image from Google The last two day's Dave and I have been playing on some steep Yorkshire limestone. Yesterday we climbed at Malham Cove which most people know from their geography field trip! We were there for the climbing instead of the educational factor. Dave knows the crag very well which is handy as he forgot his guidebook, but we went on and climbed a 7a, 7a+, 7b and then another 7a+. By the end of this we were both pretty tired so we retired to the bar. Day two we went to Kilnsey . A crag I have never been to but


Urgently Require Stamina

Had a couple of days at Kilnsey with Sam and finally got on Urgent Action F8a+. I didnt really have any expectations but felt a bit hard done at the end of the first day. I struggled to work out the moves and another three folks were trying/redpointing the thumb so it took me three [...]
