Here is my work in progress tick list for switzerland :
** at chironico **
Great shark hunt - never looked at it. apparently a lot of climbing, but all on good crimps (sounds like a gift to me!), plus, people keep flashing it, so it must be basic!
Dr Pinch - this guy I know did it, and he's rubbish, so it must be easy ;-)
Dr Crimp - simply because its called Dr Crimp.
No Mistery - Chatted with dave mason about this and apparently should be ok for me... kiss of death. Plus its the start to...
Schule des lebens - crimping up a steep face - brilliant!
le pilier. The one that got away. Idiot.
Serre Moi Forte. Char describes this as playing to his strengths, he likes crimping, and so do I. Perhaps I could do it?
Plus, I was thinking about looking at that deliverance thing that Chris Davis has done - he flashed it. There you go.
** at cresciano **
Dreamtime stand
le boule
Franks
Kirk Windtain - super highball and the Harris failed, ergo it must be hard.
In an ideal world, it would go like this :
Arrive late on saturday, eat, sleep well.
Sunday up and off to chironico - crush le pilier. Investigate serre moi forte. Quest for other things.
Monday - cresciano. Climb some easy things, tentatively look into either DT stand or Franks.
Tuesday - rest. Either spend day spotting or look at castles.
Wednesday - things I looked at at Chironico - succeed on one of them... get drunk, eat pizza.
Thursday - climb classic problems, take pictures, get drunk, eat pizza.
Friday - climb classic and rubbish problems, try an 8b, get shut down, eat pizza, drunk again.
Saturday - bimble about climbing slabs and being unable to touch anything due to lack of skin, fly home. Make love to beautiful girlfriend.
Yeah!

Dont do Deliverance its pants dude!
inspiring tick list.
i'm green with envy, being stuck here at work with horrible weather avery weekend.
i'll be psyched for you!!!
crush.
some points worth mentioning (if you still read comments!). ALl my opinion and possible completely wrong.
Great shark hunt - Danny, Sam, and myself all flashed all the moves to this and then danny got to the lip on his first go only to fall off due to massive amounts of snow. It's not 8B in our opinion.
Dr Pinch - I think this starts ultra low which is a bit contrived. What ed did makes the most sense (but not 8A+ in my opinion!)
Dr Crimp - not seen the thing!
No Mystery - Indeed there is a mystery... how it could have got 8A+. This is probably 7C+/8A in real terms and Schule is probably A/+. Martin took 8A+ for the ultra low version. Make of that what you will. They are still both pretty cool though.
Schule des lebens - see above.
le pilier - excellent but sadly eliminate. Still one to do!
Serre Moi Forte - Stand up is 7A+, sit is harder. :) Long move with the heelhook in. Sam flashed the moves.
Get crushing! If you read this, email me!
