Bumped into Greg Chapman yesterday and found out he'd been to Fairy Steps and just repeated John Gaskins two move horror show Walk Away Ft8B (the sit down is Ft8C). If anyones been there and seen some dimples in the wall they will appreciate just how hard this problems is. This problem aint a soft touch having sent some big names packing! Good effort!

Thanks for the confirmation.

Well done Greg. Sitter next?
I hear the methos was a little different to John's, we'll have to wait for the lowdown from the horse's mouth.

Nice one Greg, had a feeling you'd nail it this weekend!

greg deserves this ascent in preparation he hasn't eaten anything for a good three years, gregs method was to take the sloper which gaskins matched with his left hold a tiny quarter pad index pocket with his right use a lower foothold and dyno for the break its like leaping for the ceiling off your grans wallpaper seriously seriously hard move

Seriously good effort - whats next Mr C?

Fiend · February 10, 2009, 10:16:13 am

I like the photo of him on it. It's a nice bit of rock and pretty small AND vertical for a boulder problem - obviously properly damn hard at it's grades

nik at work · February 10, 2009, 10:24:55 am

A previously unrepeated vertical boulder problem with poor holds? Hmmm, I wonder what he could try next....
