Hey peeps,

I have been working a line in Hepburn Woods for 2yrs now and finally sent it today! ;D  :dance1: :great:

Here is a wee vid of it.



I'm really unsure of the grade so if anyone wants to go and try it that would be awesome. It's quite hard to find so there is a link to the google map here; https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@55.5112894,-1.8830234,15z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!6m1!1sz8BuRKnhxM3M.kfsDmMYeYyOo  :google:

Very good, you might just be forgiven for putting unauthorised stars and exclamation marks in the topic format  ;)

Stunning line and a great effort for sticking with it. Did you do it ground up?

Loved that video. Seems the trick was to switch to a green t-shirt.  ;)

Looks brilliant! Is there potential for a line up the crack trending right? Always hard to tell how big features are on videos!

Thanks folks, it was done pretty much ground up, I too roped the very top bit after falling off the top on my previous session on it. The green Urban Uprising tshirt was defiantly the answer!
The crack going up and R may be possible... There are not really and holds on it tho!

The video is all from this year, I have tons of footage of me trying it last year with a duff sequence before I found the mono.
