At last! I managed a new 'problem' of sorts today. I've had this personal 'acid test' in Parasellas Cave (a.k.a. The Cave of Justice) for a fair while (a couple of years) now.

| Quick ascent of 'Snatch' V11 |
|
Decided to go for a drive a week or so ago, and ended up at the Plantation, Stanage, for a couple of hours. I had some unfinished business here, as I nearly flashed a V11 here last year, called 'Snatch', although split my tip wide open, and had to leave it!

March 2008 brought the 3rd Mountain Festival to Llanberis. I was honoured to open the festival with my talk 'Between a Sausage and a Hard Place'...

I had an awesome week last week, heading over to the classic old school venue, Craig Yr Longridge, for a Stone Circles article shoot. |

| Lo Lo V12 ascent... |
 Well, Happy New Year! After all that cheese and port, I thought it would take some time to get back on track, although thanks to a bout of really bad flu, I think I shook the extra weight off!

At last! I managed a new 'problem' of sorts today. I've had this personal 'acid test' in Parasellas Cave (a.k.a. The Cave of Justice) for a fair while (a couple of years) now.
I got the idea originally from John Gaskins, who first climbed the Woodwell problem 'Crucifix Kiss' footless at V11 a few years ago. With feet, its about V6/7, although, to John, this was not the point - it was all about how hard you could make the piece of rock climb. Basically, I applied the same chain of thought to the already classic test piece 'Lou Ferrino'. This is what you do: Pull on on the Lou Ferrino finger rail (if you are a cave devotee, you will know where this is!!) and then campus through seven moves to finish at the end of the problem. It may seem pointless and insignificant to some, but I think its pretty cool. I've given it V12, as it is way harder than John's South Lakes version (cheers for idea though!). Hope you like the photo.
