I wondered about Rocky Horror - is it worthwhile? I assumed Marc has deliberately tried to push at least something from every area ... which is sensible enough really ... encourage people to try new areas and ease congestion at the popular spots. Yes, there are lots of ways of writing it I suppose....

Its a nice wee tick list, I know a couple of VOCers (UBC outdoor mob) who are only around for a year who want to try and bag the lot. I wondered how it was put together though, I assume he wanted a good spread of grades over a good spread of areas. Otherwise, why else would you include Rocky Horror ...

Mods, feel free to delete this now I've seen the babysitter thread.

Here here, down with fixed ropes. (Can you wait till I've had a play on it though

I read on the UKClimbing.com logbook for Polaris that back in July 2012 there were fixed ropes on it. http://www.ukclimbing.com/logbook/c.php?i=231367 Anyone know if they are still there?
