Mordor

Prejudice is a strange thing. Mostly it stops you having fun and makes you sound stupid. There's this character on UKClimbing who's too scared to use his/her own name. They're called "bullscrack". They spent most of last week slagging off Crowden Great Quarry on the forum. Of course, people can say what they like when they're anonymous. Same old same old...had s/he bothered to turn up and put some effort in they would have enjoyed themselves, but of course they didn't so they came across as a fool. Anyway, those of us who came along had an excellent time, and then we ended up in the Crown, Glossop (£1.31 a pint) and then the Naseeb (£5.95 for a chicken maurice massalla) and we all drove home in a glorious thunderstorm. Stick that in your crack and smoke it!

Looks good. Wish I'd turned up to this one and not quite sure why I didn't. I think I'd forgotten that I was fairly keen to give Crowden a try or maybe it was the heat...

Will try to get there soon. Anything in particular you need checking out??

Dear Mr Fiend,

I think that a gentleman of your calibre will find much of a challenging nature on Overhang Buttress. An excellent selection of routes from E1 to E4 on steep, well protected ground. If you want, I'll send you the relevant section of the new script.

Love from,
Martin

Please do, that would be useful.

My calibre is somewhat crippled due to "elbows" at the moment :S.
