Widdop
April 27, 2011, 09:29:22 pm
Was up there today, and was having a play on the "red rose boulder" as it is called in the alternative widdop bouldering guide. Tried number 7 on the topo not knowing what it was. It gets V4 6a, and i wasnt getting anywhere on it. Any beta for it? Found it much harder than cornflake which is the same grade...       Perhaps its too much limestone touching and i should stop being a fanny and pull harder?

Cheers

Its less of the pulling harder and more of the yoga.Which is something I thought I would never ever say. :o
