Careless Youth
March 29, 2011, 09:11:04 pm
Not that I think this is particulalry newsworthy but ticked Careless Youth this evening after work. Surprised it's had so few repeats but it's really quite a good problem and maybe not as hard or scary as people think. I'd plump for middling 7c and OK with 3/4 pads and a spotter. Before you asked, yes I toproped it, but then a. i'm a coward and b. i don't like falling off

Anyway get on it before it gets too warm as it's really quite good.

Given this is the beta section guess I should oblige and save you guys from knackering your skin like I did

LH- middle of 1st sidepull crimp
LF- top of sharp spike
RF- low obvious right pebble
RH- pebble below small slot

Pull on
RH- small slot (i used big finger mono but if taller might get 2 finger sidepull, quite agressive on tendon / skin)
LF- high broken pebble
RF- big high pebble out right
LH- big span to sidepull out left (crux)
RF- 1st sidepull
LF- obvious big white pebble
RH- right hand side of top sidepull crimp (poor)
LH- match sidepull

either reach to top if tall enough or jump if not. Easy top out.

That mono with the dog's tooth inside always put me off, I guess you're no stranger to the insides of dog's mouths though - good effort!

Our pre emptive downgrade radar must have been off.
