Happy Place



Tor linking up on the F.A. of Golden Pinch


I've been revisiting the Happy Place above the cliff line of Dark Forrest over the past couple of weeks. I really like this little cliff, it has a great feel about it. I repeated all the problems we put up there last year during a session there with the Norwegians, Tor and Simen and also Gary Compton.
There really are some great problems at this compact little area and I will get a guide up soon so you can all check it out.

After repeating all the classics like Happy Pyramid V4 and Deadbolt V6 I finally managed to repeat Tor's Golden Pinch. I was really happy cause I couldn't touch it last time, I guess you need to be Viking strong like a Nord! I managed to clean up some projects there too over a few little arvo session's including the low start further down the slopey ledge into Deadbolt @ v7. A tricky undercling traverse on a variety of little knobs and nubbins produced Damage inc @ v8 and climbing out the low ledge under the roof then popping out and finishing up the mantle 'hydraulic' created 'Viking invader v9'.

I really will get this topo done soon, it's shady in the arvo so will be perfect for a late summer session.
