Marine Drive Closures at Weekend

The Ormes shut from 6.00 am til midday on Friday 4th and is basically shut all day on Saturday. You can still walk to LPT along the beach. Tides will be getting early again by the weekend. Went down LPT yesterday, tried Wild Understatement as it has slightly bigger holds and i didn't want to make my split tip worse. This was given 8a by George Smith in 1989 i think but it would be the world's hardest for the grade! Pete did it last year and reckoned 8a+ and Bransby did it this year and agreed. Whereas Statement is just sustained all the way this has a crux right at the top, is really technical, probably font 7a with bad feet. Anyway really cool route. Tommy iced Statement. Ed did Pilgrim in Cave.
