Take your blinkers off Averageman, these problems are lines NOT eliminates......
well said
and i thought andy was the walking guide book
Like st hubbins saidPz climbed pretty much most of the harder boulder problems on SSBum dragonslow pullnightfallturning the leaf / tuskysit start to kinda lingersyankee affairthe lemurmagneticAlso the brenva ss which he also repeated without warming up , in bare feet after not climbing at all for 18 months.Ian stronghill was wrongly credited with stinging nettle in the guideJust had another quick look at the video of finger fow , does not really look as though Andy is going off left. As i remember it is quite independent of torque wrench. Although i must say i have not been down there in some time.
He only climbed on SS for a couple of seasons before settling down with family commitments.Finger flow : what ever way it goes , I always considered it the best problem on the boulder , class climbing up that section of rock . Guide i would say is correct looks as though both ways use the flakes there is probably just more than one way to do the last couple of moves .

Fair comment, when i tried it, i was having a few problems so i tried going left and found it very reachy, so persevered with the direct, and it paid off.The problem to the right up the blank wall i found harder and its supposed to be easier.
ok - right...so had a yyfy moment today, well 2 to be exact.did both versions of Stinging nettle and though I might as well put my thoughts down on paper, as it were, just in case anyone gave two shakes of a whatists dooda
