New Curbar Problem
April 02, 2008, 02:11:09 pm
Me n the Polish one did what we think is a new problem on the Bad Landing Boulder at Curbar the other week.

Le Musée Imaginaire 7b/+
From the large jug, traverse left to finish up the arete.

The crux is similiar to Zaff's Problem at Secret Garden, but perhaps a little tougher. Dave also linked it from Huffy's Roof.

Le Musée Imaginaire Extension 7c+
Obvious sitstart: right hand in pocket, left hand further up.

Dave thought the roof section to be 7c, but that might be different for those of normal stature. It would be possible to start further back matched on undercuts, but this adds four very desperate moves. As far as we know, Huffy's roof starts from sitting also, and not on the undercuts. That right Huffy?

Well done for finding an angle that hides his tongue  ;)  Interesting footwear combo too!

Looks like a cool problem.

I think this is a really good problem.

jesus, does banks use a shoehorn to get those trousers on? i almost don't want to look at that photo for very long.

Does that mean you actually do want to look at the photo for very long? You love it you slag!

I'd be more worried about Dave's foot kicking the mat, than a scarf dab.
