Fluide - Crow Crag
October 19, 2014, 08:19:10 pm
Not so much after beta, as it looks pretty flipping obvious! More looking for opinions. I went to check this out on the way home today and it looked fantastic. Got to the undercut without much difficulty and it looks like the real meat is the one move to the top. Would love to make a wee project of it.

Is it massively reach dependent? I'm not short but I'm also not a freak of nature. Is this in the same category as Pebble Wall Variation for instance?

Is it really hard for the grade? My only 7C tick is The Keel (i.e. not a 7C tick) and so if this is at the upper end of the spectrum I'll probably come back to it when I've got more skillz.

Any more tips other than get-your-feet-really-high-on-the-left-and-throw-one-on?

One of my favourite bits of rock in Yorkshire, it's a beauty. Don't think that it's heighist, our mate of modest stature (about 5'9") did it. I'm pretty sure I heard that the undercut has broken a bit since we were there last, so that would make it very tough for 7c. Enjoy!

Ta. Undercut didn't seem to shabby to be honest. If it's become worse it must have been a jug before.

Could have just been hearsay!

Will, number one you are fucking massive with gangly arms, number two Jon P has done this, so I don't think anyone can have a height excuse!  ;D
