[Peak][Wharncliffe][The Cardinal][7a+?]
September 18, 2011, 07:42:04 pm
Did a new one at Wharncliffe today that I'd spotted a bit back. Overhanging huggy prow near Belle Vue area. Sit-start on a block at the back (feet on that block only) and thug your way out. Not really sure on grade. Might be harder. Can't decide. It is quite morpho so midgets might struggle, and tallies will doubtless find it easier (I couldn't span to the holds at it's widest point. Well I could, but only when stood on the deck, not climbing.). It's about as wide as the Alliance, but decent holds and 70deg overhanging. I had to reinforce the starting block as it was quite loose/wobbly/scary but it should be OK now. Might be worth checking first if anyone goes. I also patioed the landing a fair bit, as it didn't really have one before, other than an ass-reaming spike block.

Here's a photo myself took of myself:



Looks smaller in pic. There's actually another mat the other side of the blue one before the start.

I thought it was good, although I appreciate it's at Wharncliffe so it might not see much action.

Good find yoot. I definitely didn't see that when I was searching the crag. Looks good. Strong name.

Looks ace. Especially if it's bigger than it looks in the picture.
