212 11/07/2007 Frodsham Thin Crack . 4b 6 1 TR John Haslam, Marek P Strenuous start (or walk in from right), crack is not as friendly as it looks from below
211 02/05/2007 Helsby The Overhanging Crack VS 4c 14 1 TR John Marsland Awkward to leave the cave, otherwise unremarkable
210 02/05/2007 Helsby Golden Pillar E1 5b 14 3 TR John Marsland Superb route, everything that Helsby has to offer. Excellent moves in an exposed position - would be a bold lead
209 02/05/2007 Helsby Trojan Nose S 4a 10 1 Sec John Marsland Quite delicate up to the nose, flick the heel over with good jug to left. Typical Helsby sandy mantels higher up. John soloed it
208 19/04/2007 Harpur Hill Quarry Snap Decision F5+ . . . TR Steve Carr Goi's TR from ABTR. Much nicer route with some excellent moves. Slightly delicate start, easier the higher you get
207 19/04/2007 Harpur Hill Quarry Always Break the Rules F5+ . . . TR Goi AShmore, Arnaud G Goi sportingly set up the Top Rope and he and Arnaud coached me in the lower-off
206 07/10/2006 Curbar Edge P.M.C.1 HS 4a 16 3 Second Arnaud G Nice line, moves out onto the face / flake improbable at the grade, but it's all there
205 07/10/2006 Curbar Edge Brindle Crack HS 4b 10 1 Led Arnaud G Choice of routes above the huge ledge (nice to place gear from, not so good if you fall onto it). Backed off Calver, glad I finished BC
204 07/10/2006 Curbar Edge Baron's Wall HVS 5b 8 1 Second Arnaud G Start hard even though tall, used arete as well as undercling. Getting into fat crack is awkward, typical grit finish!
