Here’s another little update of things going on at Dumby. The obvious news of late has been Malc’s new 8b’s but it seems conditions of late have been lending themselves to some more sending. Sabotage continues to attract the crowds with three more ascents in the last week or so from Andy Shanks (who has set the bar with a 3 session dispatch), Chris Houston and myself.

 

A couple of weeks ago Will Atkinson put up a new 8a sport route called Endurance. The route links Tarrier into Sufferance which is a worthwhile link that straightens Sufferance out and is a good addition to that wall. I’ll get some photos next time I’m down at Dumby and make a topo of the main sport wall.

 

Here’s a video of Will’s new route. Quite hard to make a nice vid when you need to put your camera on a tripod and the piece of rock you’re climbing on doesn’t ever get the sun but it’s a good video none the less.

Here’s another video from Will Atkinson of him nabbing the second ascent of La Saboteur which links Sabotage into Le Tour De Technique. Crushed!!!

Here’s a video from Will Atkinson of Malcolm Smith crushing his new 8b problem at Dumbarton linking Pressure into Firestarter. Impressive, very impressive!!!

Here’s a nice little bouldering video I stumbled across with a couple of cool looking problems. It’s by a German guy called Simon Stickler who used to be a professional climber and is now a freelance filmmaker, photographer and writer. His website has some really interesting content and is definitely worth a look.

Here’s a nice vid of Alan Cassidy sending his latest Project in Santa Linya, Spain (where he is currently living after an inspired decision to move there last year). This makes 8c number three for Alan. Check out his blog here.
