Young gun Bob Hickish has had an extraordinary summer so far. Following on from his new 8a+ from last month(Fuel My Fire), Bob has repeated some of Dorsets most sought after routes. Freaky Ralph(F8a+), King of the Swingers(F7c+ DWS), Haka Pera Peru (F8a) Palace of the Brine (F8a+, second ascent), Event Horizon (F8a+, second ascent), Adrenochrome (F8a, DWS) and Hells Darker Chambers (F8a) have all fallen to the irrepressible Hickish in the last month. Bob even found time to fit in another new route, in the shape of Skullthuggery(F7c+) in a deep water foray at Lulworth. His attentions are now said to be concentrated on completing the second ascent of Lifeforce(F8b) at Fishermans Ledge, and , once the bird ban period is over, repeating Infinite Gravity(F8a+).
Access News: It has been reported that a pair of Peregrine falcons have nested at the Drag Racing Underground area of Blacknor North. Please avoid these routes until the end July.
