mark mcmanus-’flying spaghetti monster’ V5-bearacleave
mca-putting the
crystals to good
use-right up the
middleV2 6a.......
apparently!
waller slab-
north face-
bearacleave
the big trend
recently, hard
routes with
big, painful
unplanned holes
in the hand
left..doing just
that on one of
bearacleave’s
reachiest sort
of deviations
more fun...adopt the
“how in God’s name
do you get up that?”
approach...then get
up it!
tunhill’s exquisite lumplet 3-
mca floating up the overlap
nic at lumplet 2-tunhill rocks on
a pleasant wall of micro slopers
smiley, happy face, just happy she didn’t fall off
“I can’t get up that..it’s all
slopers and nothing for
my feet..I don’t like the top
out and those crystals are
SHARP! so I’ll tell you now,
there’s no way.....oh...I got
up it!”
tunhill ‘the slab’ above central crack 4c with crap landing-above ‘the eden project’ 6b,well delicate!
‘let’s make a
lot of noise’
department
‘let’s notice
our favourite
crystal is
missing’
department
fab traversing the corner
goalmouth boulders, bearacleave
funny how a simple route becomes strange when bits
have fallen off it...mca not
happy with that very
scenario- goalmouth
boulders, bearacleave
missing, presumed lost!
above-mca mid traverse tunhill
lumplet 2-some rambler type
pointed out to her friend-”look
they‘re carrying a suitcase,
I wonder where they are going”
umm...boulder mat lady!
it was also mentioned-
oh metolius must have seen you
coming by sending a crashpad
covered in dayglo daisies...yeah
we decided to keep it and guess
what.....EVERYBODY now sees
us coming!
below-more fun mini projects at hountor
WHAT’S ON THE TV THEN?
actually...fab-going up the tv
set, ‘little arithmetics’ V4 6b-
so many routes, so little skin!
mca ‘trevor macdonald’
V5 6b nearing the scoop
some kind of variation
was the next outing.........
then it all went horribly
pearshaped-result, one
EXTREMELY large and
painful hole in the hand
epilogue- when handed a plastic bag to put your Waitrose salad bar concoction in...use it- fab
shows us just what happens when the tofu and tuna pasta explodes all over your purchases thus
rendering a huge mess, not to mention a lot of laughter from those who DID use the bag in the
first place-the cones were placed to protect the public but the names have not been changed to
protect the innocent- mca, driver (laughing) nic, passanger (laughing) fab, back seat passanger
(not laughing)
