[Unzipped][8a][Raven Tor]

A direct and pumpy eliminate with a superb burly move near the top.

30m. Follow Half Decent to where it joins Indecent Exposure. Climb the fingery wall direct to gain the break and move right to join Body Machine at its rest. Follow BM through bulge but instead of traversing right climb direct to the break and overlap above (bolt). Using a hidden incut sidehold just above, make an extending move past the bolt to reach easier ground. Teeter up to join Indecent at its last bolt and finish up this.

Simon Lee 4.9.12

NB The bolt before the lower break needs extending at the moment. If my battery will hold enough charge I'll add an extra bolt on Friday. Steve Mac repeated/flashed the route after.

Steve Mac politely waited until I climbed the route and promptly flashed it with ease.

Decided that 'The Zipless Fuck' was a bit too radical, eh?

Good effort.

Good job the Oak is drying out or else you'd be a lost soul and revert to hanging excessive amounts of weight from yourself and your wedge!

I've heard this has been repeated by a girl using a kneepad at 7c+. Never mind eh. ;)

Unfortunately my battery has died. I'll sort out a drill at some stage. Till then a sling on the bolt is required (not in-situ, natch)
