Trad climbing at The Roaches

[funkbrotha10]

lol, 2 pieces of pro. and steep slab. so if you blow a piece, you deck. and if you fall you get banged up no matter what

[T1twenty]

@funkbrotha10 yeah there was a guy who missed the dyno and as he slid down pulled the trigger of his cam and decked...

[theobtuserecluse]

[eldinho1979]

Hey man. I remember this day we met you i think doing Joe's arête. It was your first day on grit (&trad?). That's our mate Tom giving you the encouragement on the boulder prob. Nice work on "wings". Hope you've been on the grit since.

Where was that btw?

[markandrach]

glad you gave it its real grade,alot say e4 but its not.nice one

[T1twenty]

@markandrach haha thanks for that!!

[sounddiggers]

harder than E2 5c isnt it ? nice day for it though . nice !

[Rabkca]

Never seen someone use their tongue on a route! Fair play. What does Grit taste like?

[T1twenty]

@Rabkca haha thanks it was my moment of despiration! i didnt want to fall again, ive tasted better!

[climbingjohn]

wings is E4 5c not E2 and its not the best move at the roaches, its a jump, its not even a dyno. If you think its the best move at the roaches you have missed the point of gritstone climbing. That problem at the end is only 7A if started from undercuts not with your hands on the slab, its about 6B the way you did it.

[T1twenty]

@climbingjohn it says in the guidebook that its a e2 for the tall, and if it is a jump then it is dynamic and hence a dyno. thanks for the bouldering tip ill try it tht way next time.

[halo3269]

@climbingjohn It's E4 6a, and that's that.

[T1twenty]

@halo3269 and thats that? wow u do seem very authoritative on the matter. Yes boss e4 6a!

[halo3269]

@T1twenty You can be when you've done the route! 

[halo3269]

@T1twenty You can be when you've done the route!

[T1twenty]

@halo3269 um I have done the route, hence me putting a video up of it u div.

[halo3269]

@T1twenty Hah, ha lmao you must be a complete tit, to try and insult me get back in the school yard and behave like a little boy that clearly are.

Come back when you've grown up and stopped drinking cans of cheap student beer.

[T1twenty]

@halo3269 lmao?? reali sounds like ur the tit, little boy? hmm your favourite videos are computor games so we'll go no further on that subject and I drink whisky. so mr gamer geek u can shut the fuk up now, seeing as i have done the route and that we've acknowledged im not a student and you are a complete twat. that is all

[markandrach]

@halo3269 no its not,e2/3 5c thats about it

[nathanlee2009]

I did wings a few weeks ago - best move on the roaches - feels so good to latch that top!

[stoke101]

Nice filming, and congratz on getting your wings.

[XtreenPro]

Dude that is so steep.... How the hell?

[jonny2vests]

@XtreenPro

Actually, in climbing terms, its not steep at all, comes under the category 'Slab'. It is pretty blank though in the upper section, hence the required jump.

[XtreenPro]

Yeah Hucker!

[georgebirley89]

you go boy
