Bouldering Discussion / Re: "Bouldering in Ireland" reprint
« on: September 27, 2013, 11:04:37 AM »
The book has been out of circulation for quite a while so a reprint is worthy.
Unless you plan on doing a major update (version 2) which I am not sure is yet warranted by additional new problems etc, I'd think the inclusion of an additional few pages, possibly loose, detailing corrections would be sufficient and get it back on the shelves.
I think that in a few years time, a bouldering in Ireland (version 2) will be called for..

Solitary confinement is amazing, can't imagine highballing the gnasher, particularly that groove at the top,

Bouldering Discussion / Significant Repeats

A thread for significant repeats - there are lots of unrepeated classics out there, e.g. Wonderland, Man Machine, that would deserve mention if repeated.
So to start:
Dave Mason repeats Spindle (8a).

No idea Ciaran, they'll hopefully turn up, ya should probably put it up on the fb Irish climbers too.
We're the pads taken up at fair head ever recovered?
If you've to cover a bad landing with a lot of pads, the walk in could be arduous enough..

You should post them up, if they've been done before, someone will let you know - Colm?
Might be soft, haven't bouldered there much. Hard to compare to the slopers of glendo though; to a degree, grades can be area-specific. Generally, grades settle in an area over time with a few ascents and opinions. Most areas have some 'classic' problems that act as benchmarks fro grading new ones.
Nice Vid,

Yep, did it a couple of ways but a lot of breaking holds, from sitting and standing, think there's a vid of Kev Moroney on it somewhere. There was a real good sitstart on the arête that went on to the wall and straight up, a hold broke higher up and kinda wrecked it though.

Good problem, starting around the corner, where kev said. The 'new' finish seems to be the one that people climb, probably cause of the great slap to the hidden but massive hold, so not a bad thing! i'd say harder than 6b alright, 6c. The finish to the left is a harder but i'd personally prefer the straight up slap finish and think it makes sense as a natural, albeit not original, finish.
