Clever Skin Left Hand- 7c?
October 22, 2008, 06:47:35 pm
Barely news. But I guess Clever Skin is pretty well known classic at Baldstones and has a bit of a reputation (for destroying tips if nothing else!) Anyway I managed to climb the arete on the LHS (avoiding the nasty pebbles- which has to be a positive). Quite thin and powerful moves. Unfortunately the Ear has to be avoided to top out (so i guess like the original it is an eliminate!- but a good one) to get the full tick. Its about 7b/7b+ if you reach left to grab the ear near the top. I will get a few locals to try it and confirm the grade (or not!)

Effort Kettle. I'll give it bash next time I'm down that way.
