Has anyone done this and thought it the meanest E3 6a in quite some time?? Seemed pretty full-on to me or have the times changed?
Also - has the boulder line up the flakes to the right of this been done?
JB has all the answers I'm sure.....

Oh right. That's interesting to know. Can't say I'd agree with E6, but definitely not E3 either! Cheers as ever grimer, for being the man with the knowledge.

me and ben tetler thought this was very hard for e3 like grimer said.
i thought it was hard climbing above an unpleasant landing much like an e6 or a hard e5. (harder and more fall offable than nosferatu for instance)
how tall are you?

I know what you're saying - it does feel quite like Nosferatu and committed etc. Hard to go with such a massive leap in grade it seems though. Definitely way harder than something like Oedipus ...
I'm 5'10 and had to lay on a proper all out slap for the break. Good problem anyway!
