Does anyone know, if this is a legitimate ascent?

Years ago when I tried this I was able to do the start without the heel (which is a little dense in every sense ), and was falling off thereafter, but wasn't using the jugs out left.

you mean the diagonal undercling?

i see no reason not to use it other than a massive eliminate: if that's the case then it is a good candidate for most pointless problem in the forest...lowball, conventional start, eliminate and not even easy!

unfortunately bleau.info is down and 7+8 is in the car.

Terrible video, terrible soundtrack, terrible footwork.

Hehe. I know it's dreadful isn't it

 It doesn't tell you in 7&8 but they're is a 7a shown just to the left described as a diagonal crack.

Thing is I could do the top without reaching out left, which is why I thought it a wee bit off-route. I'll probably try the heelhook though

Yes the diagonals in, you can't have everything reduced to strength Rodma

Careful, you'll have the whining forum bitch police ineffectually trying to slap your wrist for daring to post any negative comments on a climbing video   

I thought the problem looked quite decent TBH. With the crack of course.

terrible problem

[gradewhore] really, i think it's a king line [/gradewhore] 

the presence of the tree does make it a bit weird and it's not exactly high on my to do list, but i can try it with one pad, wont need a spot and i like problems with wee slopey edges that climb out of holes in the ground.

cheers for the info Lee, i'm not sure the diagonal will help me much, but I guess I'll find out. i wish i could have managed it without the heel and crack though, just not strong enough. it was on the same trip that i did verdict that i was close without any trickery, so that stopped me from looking for any. funny how it goes.
