The Thin Crack - Roslin Glen

video

Did someone say somethin about Cobra Crack.... pah!

this is clearly the best crack line in the world! 8m high, finger torquing, mantling, and laybacking.... and thats just before the true Roslin top out onto a 5m 45degree mud bank! seemeed much safer just to fall off!

Thats some good battling there Ecky, hats off, gutted you didnt finish. Im loving your powershouts though, which I roughly deciphered as:- 'Fuck, theres nae holds up here, oh jesus christ, its all slippy and blank, oh baws, MUM!, throw down the TOPROPE! NOW!'

Ive been there dude, I know that pain.
I MUST get to Roslin this year, you have inspired me.

Peace bro, oh and btw, was that my rope you were falling on to? I seem to have your 50m genesis....
