Hex, are you on commission for Youtube?
Heh, heh, heh.
I still lament the fact that the climb Aunty Jack at Mt York has been dumbed down with a retrobolt, as I used to enjoy it as initially a testpiece, then later simply a yardstick as to my fitness and headspace..
I believe the retro happened after I moved on to other climbing locations for various reasons, and after I heard of the retro I've not been back to shed tears or chop it, which might have happened if I was still active in the area.

As far as I can tell, Zipper next to it has been retroed. Doing Aunty Jack is the same. You still clip the first bolt on Zipper on the way through, same as when I did it for the first time in 1994.

I'd moved on by '94. How does it compare from then back to '84?
|

Hard to say if it is easier or harder than in '84. On one hand better gear, much better rubber but weaker attitudes

That's sweet. He had very pretty earrings and I really liked the way they flashed in the light when they dangled.

'...Yeah, The Ring Route aka Serious Young Lizards really proved a bridge too far. The astounding thing was, that I'd bolted this route in 1982, long before anyone thought this would even be possible, which meant that I spent a long time learning the moves and developing the strength and fitness needed for a route like this. There was a complete lack of other routes of this difficulty from where this fitness could be gained. Despite being able to climb every move in my sleep, I could never quite bring it together. I still remember my best effort. I'd been shopping in Horsham for the weekly groceries and my fingers were already strained from carrying the shopping bags, but I thought I'll just pop up and give it a go. It had been drizzling, but because the wall was so steep, the route remained basically dry. First shot, I managed to redpoint straight to the last hold, but promptly slipped off mantling onto the wet slab above. That was it.....'

..(1)...SYL (31) KIM CARRIGAN 1982-1985
Make it onto the slab at the top ...and jump off (ima)
...(2)...Lord of the rings (31) STEFAN GLOWACZ 1986
Remarkably sustained face on thinner and thinner holds. If you fall off the slab you'll be in good company.(the crag )
Climb SYL then continue up the grade 25 slab above ( ima )
...(3)...THE Lord of the rings (31) NICK SUTTER 1990s
Start at the weakness down right of "Wackford Squeers" and go fairly much straight up.(the crag)
The direct start to SYL ( ima )
...(4)...Destroyer of the rings(32) LEE COSSEY 2015
Awesome sustained face climbing linking Lord of the rings and Zorlac the destroyer. (thecrag)
So the route starts as for Lord of the Rings and NOT THE Lord....I climbed the direct start (THE Lord...) when I did that route.
I don't think the climbing or holds are very nice and it is basically a height-dependent crux that
doesn't add bugger all to the route. Hence I chose to take the original Lord start when doing the link-up.( LeeC )
Description:
Start as for LOTR clipping the carrot and first 2 ring bolts. Immediately
before the 3rd ring climb leftward past a single SS fixed hanger towards
the subtle right-facing flake. Follow this directly into the crux of Zorlac
the Destroyer( LeeC ).
Re climbing across the slab.... the link-up heads leftward a few meters lower than the height of the slab.( LeeC )
Climb SYL to just below the 3rd bolt then head left as per LeeCz description (ima )

'...JM: It's funny when you drive past Little Plum and look at it now it looks such a crappy route. Back in the early 80s Stoney Middleton had the most condensed number of hard routes of any cliff in the country. To get a first ascent there on something hard at the time was massive. I can remember a family friend asking me what my ambition was in climbing and I replied: 'To do Little Plum'. I can remember thinking if I do that and never do another climb my career will be successful. I wasn't really getting very close, then Kim Carrigan and Dougie Hall (who were top climbers at the time) walked past. I wanted to impress them and did it right there and then. They had both tried it and had also tried Genesis in Colorado. Genesis was supposed to be one of the hardest routes in the world and I remember them saying the difficulties the move felt about the same. After doing that crappy boulder problem route at Stoney I felt ready to take on the world....'

A massive buzz. I remember being sat on the plane on the way home again, nineteen years old, thinking I must be the best climber in the world! Can you imagine it?...'\
>>>Can you imagine it?
YES JERRY...I CAN IMAGINE YOU GIVING KIM CARRIGAN TOTAL CREDIT FOR THE SUCCESS OF UR CLIMBING CAREER ...BECAUSE KIM GAVE YOU A MASSIVE KICK IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION ... THE DAY HE PSYCHED YOU UP LITTLE PLUM !!!...AND INSPIRED YOU TO TAKE ON THE WORLD !!!

I almost caught a bus the other day.
Its ok though cos the driver didn't make me pay as I was left standing on the bus stop when I missed it.
Thought to meself, good thing I wasn't fixated on that bus, and saved myself a headache from the situation instead.

Didn't KC have earstud?
They might have flashed prettily to while he was dangling after falling off the last bit?
