Just in some pics taken today (yes, the crags have all dried out again) of the remarkable Swing of Fire V8/7b, Pete Robins’ new line up at the Breck Road area.

Also of note: Chris Davies reports a previous (as in many years ago) ascent of the obvious Breck Road – Burning Sphincter link. This gives a superb V7/7a+ish connection, moving leftwards along the obvious sloping shelf, with a lot of climbing to reach the highball finish of Burning Sphincter.

And finally, the top hold in the groove on Cockney Nutjob has parted company with the crag. This was re-ascended by Adam Hocking at around V7/7a+.
