Chris Davies and Dave Noden payed the South Lakes a visit and left with a good haul of ascents Chris reports...
"Nodder (Dave Noden) and myself had a rather good day out in Gaskins country yesterday (5/7/04). Atomic Garden (8a/V11) has now had a second ascent, followed by a third ascent from David Noden, who also sent Not Bad Dave sit start (7c+/V10) at Woodwell. Also at Woodwell I did, I think the 2nd ascent of Crucifix Kiss, feet off variation (8a/V11). Nice one Jon G awesome problems, and the weather was lush!"

At the South Lakes newest Crag X Greg Chapman has extended the superb Blood Sugar Sex Magic. The new finish continues along the lip from the good finger edge at the point where the original problem goes up to meet the break, and adds around six more fingery and powerful moves which in their own right warrent around 7a/V7. This makes the full link a fair bit harder at somewhere in the region of 7c+/V10. Next up someone needs to link this into Hybrid Moments, any takers?
