Punks Life

A beautiful autumn day saw Greg Chapman send the amazing and obvious bulging wall project on the small craglet located on the in the central higher tier of the Carrock fell boulders. This awesome line was just crying out for a send and the first decent conditions of the season allowed Chapman a weather window of opportunity which he grasped with both hands giving Punks Life. Subsequent information from Kit Wilkinson suggests that Duncan Booth has climbed a line on this face, although on further inspection of the block in conjunction with Duncan's description it would seem likely that he climbed a slightly different problem.

Greg also made what is probably the second ascent of Neil Kershaw's excellent new 7b/V8 problem on the large boulder nearest the road at the far end of the boulder field. This problem climbs the hideous line sloping ledges through the small overlap and starts sitting to the right of small stream.
