Looks wild!

I was wondering when someone would do this.  Had a play on this a few times but found the move up left using the pinch for your right hard but never tried matching the pinch.  Nice one!

Good work Richie! Looks super cool. Look forward to try it!!!!

[c.j.d.]

I'm there tomorrow - looks good.  Will be interesting to see how this climbs - positions look damn fine!

[Dicker]

Has anybody tried this line yet?! Just be interested in what grade people think it might be.
Thanks,
Rich.

I did the stand yesterday, Me and CJD thought this was fair at or around 7c+.  I am not convinced the start will add 2 grades, only had one go at this before it started pissing down.  But that is exactly what I thought about Lou Ferrino without the pockets, and I still haven't managed that so I will refrain from an opinion at the moment.  Doylo thinks 7c, but hasnt done the top bit yet.

Were those horrendous pink adidas trousers yours?

[nodder]

Apart from the fact they are purple yes they are.

Purple with pink stripes? Strong look. What a shit weekend of weather though. Good effort getting something done!

[nodder]

Orange stripes but there you go.  It was sunny when it wasn't raining.

Disclaimer: My bouldering gradeometer needs recalculating as i haven't done much for 18 months but if the first move is the crux then i say 7c (comparing it to other shorties like Jerry's Problem, Tide of Dreams, Love Pie, The Spawn etc). It's is eliminate but its a bloody good one in my view .  The moves are good and the holds are nice  .  I think the link from low will be quite tricky, lets see how long it takes Nodder!

Cheers for feedback people - appreciate it. Glad people are trying it coz I have no idea what grade it is. The chuck for the pinch thing is def crux (2nd move from stand). In the end when I was trying the sit I could do the stand most goes when fresh so reckon the sit is quite a lot harder.

Sounds like Nodder was sandbagging me then.  Keen to try again soon
