Is this the thing at burbage south?
If so its the hardest thing i have ever done and is severely undergraded, it should be font 9e.
Seriously, its really hard

pull on from a sitter, match the sloper and jump to the hold near the right arete. The last move is a bit disapointing if you've spent a while trying to figure it out.

Out of interest while we are in the Burbage area... Is Trellis considered a tad harsh at 7a+ these days or just morpho? I managed to drop it with both hands on the top greasing off together (thankfully before the heel went up!) a while back and was thinking of getting back on it this Sat conditions permitting to finish off the 4c topout.

I know this! I was only on it about 2 months ago with el Moch and Matt Birch on an evolv day out. Birch got it done and I fell off the top snatching defeat from victory  :-[

Wondering if it had seen any repeats other than Matt's post hold and if the grade had changed at all  :shrug:
