Iam sure you love denting my ego Mr Doyle  :wink:  :roll:

Okay, what is it? I can cope with 7c

[Doylo]

Sorry mate i'm not trying to piss on yer bonfire or anything, yeah gets 7c, though feels easier to me, what do you think? Surprised you haven't got the 7+8 guide, its the way forward.

Too be honest it took me 4 goes, so, aye 7b+/7c?

The traverse in form the left is shit, but probably worth 7c+

I dont use the gudies, i go off the locals current grade... All the grades i use are Stephan Denys's and Fabs current opinion. But what do the french know, its not as ifthey come over here and piss all over our grit is it  :wink:

Dont forget your a strong fooker Chris

Stu,

I think that's the problem David Simmonite is on at the start of his book.  You know, the one which you star in.

(I severly doubt he did it)

not wanting to be the grade police, but i'm fairly certain that ange naif via the heelhook method is settled at 7b.  soft 7a+ for the right hand method and 7c for the dyno if my memory serves me.  all info from jo montchausse.  imho, the right hand variant gives the best climbing, although i ain't never stuck the dyno.

Not sure... According to Stephan Denys who was taking photos at the time, the right hand varient is hard 7a+, the left varient with heel hook is soft 7c+(his and locals opionions, not mine!) and dyno, hard 7c+...

Good problem though... Just good to massage your ego every now and again ;-)

[Omega]

well, no doubt Stephan Denys knows his stuff.

and i couldn't agree more about massaging the ego with quick ticks at font.  doesn't happen very often (to me at least).  i flashed ange naif with the heelhook.  in contradistinction, took me 3 years to do fluide magnetique, a soft (but excellent) 7b+ at cuvier.
