UKC

Shocked and saddened to see this on my Instagram feed today. Does anyone know what club he belongs to? And does anyone have a spare pitch fork?

Millstone Edge

I think it would get a higher grade if climbed with a pitch fork, at least P6+. 

Have you checked the date?

I know! Very unlikely to be in good winter nick this late in the year, though someone said Kinder is in so maybe?

Thawed out by 9 am sadly, but managed a tooling lap on rubicon so not a total waste of time this morning 

It was this morning https://www.instagram.com/p/C5NopKit9nk/?igsh=YW42N3Fuem4xMmY2

You must have been there early,  I spent an hour trying to get screws to stay in running water,  ended up having to bolt it instead 

When you look carefully at his right foot you might agree that it looks very much like a photoshop job.

Do you think Kate has been at it again?

Look at all that unsightly chalk

How do you tick mark a chalk route? 😂

Can't remember which Crags magazine it was, but a quite early one from the mid-70s when chalk was still being argued about (Ken Wilson's "John Allen frees Great Wall but uses chalk", etc) - they did a brilliant spoof article about having discovered that when Alistair Crowley did an ascent of Etherelda's Pinnacle on Beachy Head in the 1890's (?), he'd committed the ultimate ethical indiscretion by using powdered gritstone on chalk 😁

IIRC there was a picture of Gabe Regan absolutely covered in chalk that accompanied this.
