[peak][blackwell dale]
June 19, 2015, 12:36:07 pm
Piggy Black not sure on grade harder than Black, Sack & Crack (AKA BSC) so added a grade which makes it 7C
starting from the right hand end jugs. Tricky moves using undercuts and heel hooking on the jugs bring you left into BSC, finish up this.

Blackout again grade who knows, if you can reach the crimp from the foot ledge (you'd need to be more than 6 foot!) it would probably be as low as 7A+. I had to jump. felt hard so giving it 7C.
Start on the large jugs on the right. moving past a lovely pinch and a slot you arrive at a slopey edge for your left hand, from this jump to the sticking out crimp and hold the swing! Finish promptly on the large jugs immediately above.

Ok. Will go back probably satarday if i can find anyone to climb with and document it all on camera. If not maybe mon/tue. Reallly want people to get on blackout. Blowing my own trumpet but i genuinely  think its one of the best problems in the peak

Apparently so (past black and deckout buttress). But i walked past that and all the way to where the crag meets the stream and didnt see anything that looked worth climbing (and im not fussy)? Perhaps its further?

1.Black Magic 7B
2.Black, Sack & Crack 7B+
3. Piggy Black 7C
4. Blackout 7A+

did black magic today is really good, dom bridgewood found new beta on blackout with a high right heel hook so you no longer have to dyno hence now 7A+ instead of 7C

would highly recommend the jump way for anyone interested though is good move

Looking at that topo photo from the safety of my arm chair I can only conclude that you haven't climbed many/any problems in the peak or you were completely out of your mind when writing that.

The 6C+ that Ned is on in the pic is called Bog Standard, the quality is anything but.

Worth a mention that Dave's Black & Deckout 7a+ got a clean and four repeats yesterday. Really excellent highballing. The debris around the base of the tree at the top could do with a bit of a clear out though. It's not a big job but a short bit of rope would be useful.

Blackout is a really good problem. Me and Scouse tried it last night (didn't do it); 7a+ seems harsh. Maybe 7b? No easier than say Sheep Shifter.

Glad its getting some traffic. As the saying goes; I genuinely think its one of the best problems in the peak.

Went and checked these out today. Good job Haydn - they felt like ace probs (despite no success from me!)

Fun problem - I get tantilisingly close but no where near at the same time. High heel method felt desperate for me..

Worth a mention that Dave's Black & Deckout 7a+ got a clean and four repeats yesterday. Really excellent highballing. The debris around the base of the tree at the top could do with a bit of a clear out though. It's not a big job but a short bit of rope would be useful.

I got well stuck into this problem - class line - great bit of rock and too hard for me today!

Mint. All dry. Damp underfoot (and nettles - be careful in shorts and flip flops..) but all gravy.

Found Dom's sequence on Black Power desperate... I got the good hold with my right, then up to the crimp with my left, heel on and flick for the 'moon' with my right. There's a good hold in the break for the left to then span out right to the finishing jugs

So you get the moon with your right and then cross over with the left to the break? (Or is my memory of the problem wack?) I couldn't quite figure out which hand to go for what etc.. On this..

There's a good bit in the break directly up from the crimp (Dom doesn't use it in that vid)

Did blackout yesterday, thought it was fantastic. Big moves off friendly grips. Can't comment on the grade really, no idea! Great moves.
