Trench, Century and Gabriel

Ok, so much has happened in the last week or so!!

Trench Warfare 5.12d (flash Tom)
Trench Warfare exentension first ascent 5.13a (flash Pete)
Trench solo (Tom)
Century Crack first ascent.... grade??? (Tom and Pete)
Gabriel 5.13c (Tom and Pete)

Unfortunately this has all coincided with our worst internet connection yet. It literally took about 6 hours just to send through a report from Century Crack for Alan James at UKC. So, basically, we have lots and lots to say but no form of connectivity..... which will hopefully be sorted out in the next couple of days.

We'll have:

THE WORD on the grade on Century
How Tom didn't completely crap his pants on Trench
Pete's prognosis on formely the hardest offwidth in the States - Gabriel.
And a WHOLE LOAD of pictures.

Over and out for now....

  1. Just commenting because somebody should be. This is likely the coolest climbing road trip since, hmmm, Moon did Maginot Line and Agincourt...ALeM solo'd Revelations...Bachar establishd the hardest route in Europe...Messner and Habeler did the first sans O2 ascent of Everest... or I dunno, but you get the idea. Even better than the American grit blitz a couple of years back. You two have changed the wide world of crack climbing forever. Bravo.
