Parthian Shot crux font grade?
October 07, 2014, 09:10:51 am
I was wondering if anyone here knows what the font grade is for the crux of Parthian Shot? 7B+ perhaps? Bit of a dumb reason for asking, but when i started climbing i saw hard grit and thought that even though i would never get on something like Parthian Shot, i would at least like to be able to climb something as hard as that crux (assuming the crux is the end bit going over the lip). Cheers.

Probably not even that hard, but you're pumped and climbing away from the gear.

Defo easier than 7b+, on a top rope... On lead.. Christ.. Not ever for me.. ( this was many many years ago..)
- I never got to 7c on grit... I  could clean this on TR.. - not much help.. But on considering the lead I felt a serious dose of * no no f*ckin no*

No regrets.

From matched on large shelf to top prob averages out at Font 7b-ish depending on height.

Thanks. 7B is my target then. Sounds doable.
