[Cheshire][Harmers Wood][Autumn Sweater][7A/+]

Supersedes 'Fourth Night of My Drinking' by climbing direct from the good round pocket after the start (the original swapped hands in the pocket and rocked way out right into the next route. Another excellent technical highball (c. 25') that is much cleaner and more open than the photos make it look. 3 Cheshire stars.

It's a nice problem (that I can't quite do yet). Just enough off vertical to be a slab, but the moment you stick your arse out balance goes and you're off!

Here's a video of me Failing on it today.. Gives you a better idea of the moves. Very good problem. I split a tip on this effort and that ended play :(

Good stuff. Looks fab. The beaten look you get when you look down at your split tip makes this a potential addition to the vids to make you give up climbing thread.

Well I've not done it yet! Though you could say I've done the hard hits! Tonne it feels just as hard as Babybloc...  And a bit spicier.. So I'd say 7A+ bearing in mind I find that first move much easier than you...

Interesting. Its definitely easier, and less spicy, than The Dark Ark.
