Agree on the easy bit. Would be a lot better if there wasn't an escape left available after every move.

Agree with Neil tho - it ain't all that. The garlic version is far superior.
but at the grade requested here you want to look at coquine blues - bit heightist to start but it's a great move to the pod.

come on duma, you can do better then that, A wierd one move to get of the ground, if you are anything under 6 foot you wont even get of you pad, then go to a jug. what about something like Tour de Garde http://bleau.info/elephantnord/414.html now this is 5 star wall climbing

Apparently "still realzable" though. The mono on that thing looks well nasty.

It's not that heightist, even I've done it. Pulling on did feel a little beefy.

It's def not the greatest prob tho, even at that sector
