Peak Ticklist

So for my eyes only, here is an online version of my ticklist so that I don't have to carry bits of fucking paper around all the time...................It's also to stop me from butterflying around the Peak trying lots and not doing much

Single Session

The Terrace 7c+ - Done in 2 sessions. Have repeated since too. Probably only 7c

Brad Pit 7c- This should now be in the Multiple sessions list as I've already tried it again this year. However I fall off going for the jug everytime I try it (usually my first go) so all it will take is a bit of luck

Flat World 7c - Iced 02/12/08. Took ages to figure out how to do the top and then I realised that I'd done the crux about 10 times to just fall off with the wrong sequence. How annoying is grit? I've added the sit start to the multiple list. Good strong grit line

Mossatrocity 7c- Tried this at the beginning of the year and pretty much fell off the last move. Should be able to do this OK. Trick will be to just get on from the start instead of working the moves again as it is pretty tiring. Great line

The Press 7b+ - Now that it's grit season it's unlikely that I'll go and try this. Maybe on a rainy day? Would be good to try not in the summer heat

Fact Hunt 7b+ - This is a poor problem which I failed to do at the begining of the year. For some reason I couldn't do the jump to the crimp. It's a shit problem and probably only 7b, but I want to do this just so I never have to go back EVER

Suavito 7b+ - Bottled the last move on this on my second session. 1st session was useless as I couldn't even get to the crimp (1st move). It's a great line, but I need to go back with a bunch of pads and people to make me feel OK. Soft for the grade, but a great line

Lefthand man 7b+ - Tried this at the beginning of the year after doing Dick Williams. It all revolves around massive footholds (leg locks) and small handholds. Not a great line but would be a good tick

Deliverance 7b+ - How the fuck do you grade a dyno? I'd take 7b+ as this fucker took my ankle on my first try and I had to be carried off Stanage. Should be in the multiple list as I've tried it this season, but also got my hand over the top so it's still here

Flatworld Left 7b+ - I think this gets 7c in the guide, but I after a quick go it didn't seem that hard.


Multiple Sessions

Ben's Roof 7c+ - Ahhhhh this has been done by girls with small fingers! Can piss this in 2 halves as there are no hard moves. Shame that the crux nails my fingers. Still less painful that Powerband. Unlikely to try this as it will probably be seeping now.

Zorev 7c - Tried this once in summer. Looks like it could actually go down in one session

Westside Story 7b+ - I've tried this once, but didn't get up to the jump. Didn't feel that bad, but now the pebble has gone and people think 7c. CLASSIC!

Shit 7b+ - I've not done Piss (the stand-up) so that is why this is in the Multiple list. Looks fine. Did Piss after a couple of goes. Could have flashed if some lying teenager had not given me poor beta which he used on his made up ascent. Managed to fall off the top bit about 10 times as the fog came in

Blind Date 7b+ - Done. I also did this in a session. Classic, but painful problem with awkard moves

Blind Fig 7c - Now on the list after doing BD. Have done this in 2 overlapping sections and should have sent but it went dark. Iced 31/12/09

Le Terrace 8a - After crushing the Terrace this would be the grade whore way to climb 8a on Peak Grit! Very poor

Flatworld sit 8a - New edition from the evergreen Welford. I'm not sure where this is started from

Lots and lots of Sessions!

Full Power 8a - I tried this last season and completed it into the stand.......then I forgot how to do the stand. This makes me not want to try it anymore

Tsunami 8a - I should really try this when it's cold.

The Joker 8a - 1st attempt I was about 3" from the jug. 10 goes later I didn't improve. To be fair it was dark, my skin was shit etc etc

Mushin 7c+ - Is this ever dry. What a long way to go for one problem that might take me more than one session

Low Rider 7c+ - After lugging my Mondo the long way in the summer I fell off on the end of the traverse. Not sure what to do from there. Will take my friend and the shorter approach next time

PUTP 7c+(8a) - I've not tried this year after getting so close in a couple of sessions

Western Eyes 7c - Never tried. Looks high, but I'm told it's OK

Powerband 7c - PAIN PAIN PAIN

Giza 7b?

Famous Grouse 7c+

The Storm 7b+

I'll probably try to get this posted on the side of the blog so that it stays on the top of the posts.
