Gonads start
July 09, 2014, 01:41:57 am
I cleaned this up this evening and put fresh chalk on all the holds, was very dusty before, nobody had been on it yet this yr. I suspect something has come off the start as there is a fresh scar? Last got on this 5 years ago and don't remember it being that bad. Couldn't do the move up to the big sika undercut, I thought the mono move was the crux...Anybody got any knowledge?

The start is quite hard, and possibly as hard as the mono move, but I don't know if anything has broken recently. The holds were still there late last year when I did Buster.

Tried buster last year, felt nails. Any cunning beta? Or do I just need a prescription of campus board training?

Gonads is quite hard. Gonads has very small holds






(sorry all I can think of whenever I hear the route mentioned)

Thanks guys, Chris you're not wrong on both counts! I will try again and see if I missed anything. I can see a comment on the other channel where the start is said to be desparate. I wish my finger fitted into the mono but I managed to contrive a way where it was only used as an intermediate, tweaky stuff.

Wow, that must be the 2nd ascent of Buster

Yes, I think so.
