What's this?
January 08, 2009, 11:25:51 pm
As no-one has answered here I'm starting this thread. I've tried a search, but I've not been able to get it to work (bizarre).

So here it is:

The right handhold is the same as the leftmost hold on Jetpack. We started from those two holds, and went straight to the lip. The left foot is currently toe hooking around the edge of the block.


What is this problem? Does it have a grade? Felt about 6c+/7a?

its not in any guide to date or any guidebook script i've seen, so its "new" to some extent, at least to me.

I can't see the pic at work but, from memory, isn't the right hand hold, the new hold that appeared on Jet Pack. If so it won't have been done until fairly recently.

the hold down from the right hand looks like the left hold from jetpack.

I'd love to rock up at the crag in a pair of these bad boys!

I bet they wouldn't slip off on a heal hook.

His hand is under that metal ball. It's a fake hook, you fool.



Although his clear mental issues could be harder to heal.
Do you know much about autism dave?
