On Christmas day Greg Chapman took a stroll up Thorn Crag with a mind for a light bouldering sesh in an effort to work up a hunger for the usual Xmas scran-down. Despite the foggy conditions Greg managed a quick send (with some new beta) of the small - but perfectly formed - arete project to the rear of the Seaview boulders to give - Yule Jewel 7a+/V7.

Also, Keswick's resident Polish strongman Mariusz Motyka has made a swift repeat of Adam Hocking's new Bowderstone testpiece Final Curtain. Mariusz confirmed the quality, commenting that the problem felt very similar to nearby Ladder Face classic Phantom of the Opera.
