Whats the problem?
March 08, 2004, 01:21:48 pm
and why is it not in the Peak Bouldering Guide?

Its a juggy/slopey rising break traverse on the Business boulder at the plantation, on the side that faces the pebble (east face).

Anyone know it?

Do mean like from the start of Ben's Extension but moving right, or similar? Can't quite picture it....

Ye thats right, traverses right from ben's extension along the break and finished up the arete. Has a bit of an awkward landing...

Hasn't it got a huge dead tree under it? Or it did have, which is probably why it's not written up....

I think the tree is slowly disintigrating - it was probably a lot bigger when the guide was written.

But anyway, is it a decent problem and how hard is it?

its not a bad problem but the moves dont flow very well (or maybe im not  a very flowing climber   :? ), dont have a clue how hard it is, probably a bit harder than the north face of Pebble traverse.
