The Best Wobbler You've Ever Seen? 19-Apr-2012 At 12:44:30 PM Dave J

In my mind the "wobbler" is the bit that happens before you fall (in fear of certain death) and the "tantie" is the bit that comes after (usually from failure to redpoint rather than a dose of actualy certain death). I have seen some great wobblers but cant recall any specific examples.

"Best Tantie As Seen By Me Award" though goes to Nathan Hoette. At Millenium and he was trying the extension to Red Vinyl and had brought along a brand new girlfriend and was very much in best behaviour mode. He spent the day falling off the last hard mood and managing to squeeze out a "gee whiz, that was unlucky" each time. Then, on his last shot of the day, he gets though all the hard climbing, stupidly slips off an easy move just near the top, totally loses it and unleashes this blood rage, cliff-kicking F#king! F#k! F#k! C#nting! F#king! C#nt!!!!! tantrum upon the crag.

Awesome!
