We're in Rocklands...

The line is the most stunning thing ever climbed! The ascent by Nalle took bouldering to another level. Logistically it is a ridiculous project. It takes an hour to walk in on no path, you need about 8 pads and spotters. Not to mention it’s 8c and a solid 8 metres high. Imagine Careless Torque but two metres higher, with harder start moves acting as the gatekeepers for the disgustingly technical, scary, E19 without pads, Font 6c+ top section. There’s still a bit to be climbed in the area too.

Update
If you’ve been living under a rock, you won’t have heard that Dan ticked his big project at Badger Cove. ‘Dandelion Mind’ weighs in at a rather impressive Font 8b+ and is a contender for one of the hardest in the country (excluding Gaskins’ efforts.... obviously).
Blog about that here:http://www.beastmaker.co.uk/2011/04/29/tmi-friday/ and video here:http://vimeo.com/23044295
He also whipped up Voyager, Font 8b after the problem cheekily ate away at his finger a few weeks before hand. This was done in ‘definitely not winter conditions.’



Jon Partridge is making ‘regular’ (all relative) visits to the Peak in order to tick a few grit and limestone classics that he’s neglected for oh so many years. Sean’s Roof is on the agenda for this weekend. We also filmed with Jon in Wales a few weeks back - got some quality footage that will be in the film.
David Mason is getting reasonably close to ticking Superman at Cressbrook. Jerry’s super problem hasn’t been repeated since a hold broke, so this will be a fairly significant ascent...


JP on 'Lowrider' Font 7c+
Next big thing on the cards is the Rocklands film. We’re jetting off to the other hemisphere at the start of July and we’re starting to think about what gear to take etc. It’s going to be an amazing trip and the film will hopefully capture it. Micky Page, David Mason, Mina Leslie-Wujastyk, Sam and Lucinda Whittaker are all involved, so look out for that in around October.
And just in case you haven’t seen it....
