I went over to Ysgo in November for a few of the classics. Jawbreaker SDS is brilliant, although if shorties have a tough time on ISM SDS I imagine they may well find themselves shortchanged on Jawbreaker SDS as well. I'm 6ft and Jawbreaker sit felt about 7B. although a significantly harder proposition than ISM SDS.If anyone's interested I got some horribly over exposed footage:
I used to go down to Ysgo beach when I was kid all the time with my family, we used to call it "The Lead Mines". When I started climbing in the early 90's I wandered down there having a vague memory of blocks and was amazed to find this incredible boulder field and climbed some of the easy obvious lines.
Higg Scar always felt 6b to me but haven't done it for ages! The RH version has to be going up? I've only ever seen John M do it and he's a beast. Richie's had about four sessions on it and can't do it and he's not exactly weak...
Rich bailed to the cave that day. It must be harder for the tall transporting their gangly limbs though that small space! Feels standard V6/7A to me. Such a great problem but a shame that block is in the way. I would love to be able to swing around on those lovely slopers a bit more!
If you are looking for more feedback simon I only went once and did loads of stuff in the "v3/v4" range in and around the ISM area and the only one that I really had to work hard on was Jones' Eliminate. Took me loads of tries to get it, almost to a point of giving in.
I believe that's what we did eventually (I had Miles P along as my pet local, and he took a few goes), but I think we both used a crucial tiny nubbin for right foot. Can't recall if it was dynamic or static, proably the former for me, the latter for him.
