Monologue - Ramshaw
January 01, 2012, 10:33:19 pm
Slightly confused about this one, all descriptions I have seen say climb the 'arete' as in singular but have seen this video where it's more of a fridge hug.
Is it 7b+ with both aretes?

Cheers

Described here as a hugging problem, and two votes for 7B+: http://peakbouldering.info/problems/2313

As far as I am aware it was originally and always done with both aretes, and the grade change is just standard grade squeeze (although probably justified in this case). It would be a pointless eliminate using only the left arete, as opposed to the classic that it is.
