Roller Wall, Burbage South

Went to have a look at this today, for the start is it both hands on the crimps directly beneath the holds above and pad feet up smears or do you start just right on the better edges for feet? Peak bouldering says climb direct up the middle but tonnes of edges were chalked. This may sound daft but I don't know anyone who has done/tried it.

No insight I'm afraid, but I find half the fun of bouldering is trying to work out how to do problems rather (rather than using someone else's possibly wack/morpho specific sequence).

Anyway,  :off: and I shall say no more.

The more direct start is obviously preferable, but its ultimately irrelevant as the crux and meat of the line lies above the break, and I doubt you'll find an easier way of doing that bit even if you traversed in.
