Pit Pony - Rowtor
September 30, 2011, 06:02:38 pm
Did a new problem at Rowtor today. It’s a little bit specialist but with all the Wide Love going on at the moment it may well see some attention. In the cave\tunnel just to the left of Yoghurt Hypnotist approx 2 metres in there is a wide roof crack. Starting at the right hand side from a hand\fist stack (just to the left of a chockstone) throw your feet up and in and shuffle\contort\grunt\swear leftwards to exit through a small hole (no dabbing) and continue up the wide crack above. Looks a bit comical from the other side as once you exit through the hole you’re basically level with the ground but it’s got a full range of hand stacking, double fists, inverts and chicken wings to keep lovers of the wide happy. 

Done as an eliminate as didn’t use any side walls\ledges or the back wall but these types of problems are so rare I reckon a few rules makes for a better problem. I know some people won’t like the small exit through the hole as at first its hard not to dab but once you figure the correct body position its actually quite easy to avoid touching the back wall\floor.It’s also possible for the tall you just have to get in nice and deep.

No idea of the grade, felt bit harder than Melvyn Bragg. Could be anywhere from 7a+ to 7b+. It’s called Pit Pony by the way. 
Will be going back for photos at some point as didn’t have a decent enough camera today.
