[Peak][Reynard's Cave, Dovedale][Bo Bridges][7b]

This is in the smaller of the two caves behind Reynard's Arch. Start sitting at the base of the central pillar and climb this to a tricky exit into a big hole in the roof. It doesn’t have any eliminate rules, I used footholds on the side walls. Also good at about 7a+ if climbed from standing starting at the midway jugs. Good problem I thought, kind of similar to Nuda's Tartan at Nuda's Tartan. It’s quite long and feels about route 7c+. I’ll post a pic when I get a chance.

Nice one John. Lovely spot too with the ledge at the front. If that cave was at Stoney it would have a gazillion problems.

Went down for a look at this today, some really good moves and in a nice place, definitely be back for it. Got distracted trying another line which went at about 7a+. Started from jugs on the left arete of the cave entrance traversed rightwards on head height holds until a pair of jugs are reached a foot right of an obvious green streak, from there a long reach to holds on Bo Bridges and finishing in the hole as for that problem. Don't know if you've already done this bonjoy? I'l post it on peakbouldering if not. Class little venue anyway, some other lines as well to go back for

Nice one! Got a name for it? I spotted the line but didn't get time to try it.

First ascent Ben? Nice one. I'll go and do it and drop the grade to v3! :-) I'm free next weekend to check this place out if you fancy heading back? Altho I'm pretty keen for Dinas Rock as the moment!

Nice problem aint it? Feel free to rename it if you think of a better one! Did you do the traverse of the right wall? Got the moves sussed, need to finish it off though.

I cleaned and did the right wall trav in sections but didn't have time and/or energy to climb it that day. Seems like it will be a really good prob, I'd guess at about 7b+ but hard to tell how hard the end will feel on the link.

7b+ ? Where were you trying it from? I was sit starting off a big obvious ledge at least a couple of foot below the traverse line itself (so big first move), just right of serious crudiness, and not quite as far back as the bo bridges start. Felt 7a+ maybe? Dunno i cud be taking a more liberal line and I'm terrible at grading
Agreed very good moves though, some good varied stuff.

I was starting way back in the cave where there is a tufa ledge for your left foot (I think this was deeper in than the start of bb), mostly I was traversing with feet just above ground level though I did head up a bit in the first half. I could well be way out on the grade as I was knackered when I tried it and didn't spend much time working out best beta.

Did the right wall traverse today when out with the family. I went to do Arch Enemies, but it wasn't really possible to get ropes on in the time we had so I did 20 mins bouldering.
I started on the right hand end of the footledge in the back of the cave, finished on slabby bit next to the grass, stayed low(ish) all the way (went slightly higher in the middle, but low at the end). Not sure of grade as I didn't work a sequence properly, 7b/+ maybe, might be easier. Crux at the end. Quite good as vert traverses go I suppose, but it's not Arch Enemies. Bo Bridges looks the better line. I'll think of a name and write it up properly if it's not already been done.
