[Cheshire][Harmers Wood][Baby Bex][7A+]

A semi eliminate problem between BabyBloc and Bex that despite its position climbs very independently. Great climbing in true Cheshire wall style - crimps, marginal footholds and step ups.

Starts with LH in the crimpy slot at head height that you use with RH in Babybloc. Then move up the wall to a sloping sidepull avoiding all the holds (big slots) on Bex - making the final move to the top via a 1 pad mono for the LH. A slightly easier (7A) version uses the lower of the large slots on Bex (next to my right side in the pic below) to get started. I managed the 7A last week and Andy Popp got the FA on the 7A+ direct version today. Effort.

Cheers Tom. I'm feeling a little guilty as the vision was all Tom's and I sneaked an ascent before he even turned up today.
