Has anyone climbed 'Piece of mind' (E6 6b)at the Roaches??
If so can you offer any advice for me as I am hoping to try it this year.

Havent done it, (above my grade at the moment)looks good though, you thinking of doing it "trad" or top roping it?, apparently the gear's crap lower down, as with anything on the Roaches, try it early in the year, most of the first ascents were early (Jan/Feb/March), before the green slime has chance to grow, you might get a better response on one of the dedicated climbing sites such as climb.uk, good luck,
let me know when you're thinking of having a go, I might come and watch.

Well my idea is to top rope it then when I am confident about it I will trad it. The thing is I might have to solo it and pray that I don't fall as I am not sure gear will be much use.

Could be interesting, I am going to go up this weekend weather dependent and have a go at top roping it, should be funny!!

good luck then, shame I'm working, don't get any blood on the rock, makes it slippy!

I take it (judging by the weather) you've not done it yet then?

So when will you be climbing E6 6b Dave, I'd make a special trip down from the lakes to watch that!!

No still have not had the chance to get up there fingers crossed this weekend, weather permitting!
I am getting so bored of climbing indoors, my fingers can only cope with a certain amount of indoor climbing.

What walls do use, our local one is at Wolverhampton, but it gets a bit boring after a while,
Ian, about a week after you!!

Been on it a while ago (on a TR) and from what I remember the crux is at the top after some hard balancy climbing. It then involved some pebble pulling and dodgy smears. Couldn't do it with my reach (and lack of strength). At my limit then (and now).
Don't think any of the gear would stop a deck out so you'll need to have it totally wired
Good luck!
