nervous about this as.......

a) its a bit like scraping a barrel
b) it has prob been done before....

but me and worm did a link from humpin and finishing early doors. Some good moves but the 2 cruxs are keeping your elbow off the rock at the start and stopping your foot from slipping off the polished foothold and hitting the same rock with your foot.

we thought humpin only felt about 7a so about half a grade on top, we had to work at the end.

did you go down into the GW spikes then back up Ed, or quest straight across to the ED slopes from that big hold on GW? I love the moves on the latter.

did the higher one, as per that other link up that starts round the corner. the only difference is that you start the dump sitter on the arete.

I agree that the moves across are good and took a few goes to link ity due to stamina issues. The moves from the arete are also good as we kept low and did not use the jugs, just a funky heel hook used to bring the right hand from the arete onto a small crimp

Good effort cheese :)

Any chance of an end to end description so we can fail on something else on this boulder?

Thanks
