Essentially sit-start to 'Ovine Low Left'. Waited until this problem finally dried out! Apologies if already been done.
Felt harder for me than Ru's traverse so am unsure of the grade - somewhere in region of 8a+ (but sure there is probably some clever foot sequence I have missed).
Be good to get a second ascent and get confirmation on the grade before it wets out again! Actually climbs pretty well.

Nice! Was wondering what all that chalk under there was for!
Now this just needs to be done into nobles king of lambs!

Good vid, at least we know where one of the low starts on that wall goes now!

Cheers. Have done a similar one for Ru's also on PeakBouldering.info.

Nice.

Did Ru's and Ovine low the other day. My sequence on Ru's was a little different - couldn't do it with the big reach to the sloper so shuffled along on that bit but otherwise the same...

I was starting Ovine Low Left with the good crimp and an undercut on the lip, feet R at back of roof then out to the inter you use. Your lower version looks good, may try to get there again whilst it is dry - I had just told bonjoy I was done with that bit of valley!

Cool video, good to bump into you there the other week. The start of Rich's traverse looks nails! I started Ovine Low Left exactly where you are at 34 secs into the vid with my RH on the tiny crimp/pinch about 9 inches to the right of the slot, seemed the logical start point for the 7C version.

Best get  :strongbench: for your new low start!  :bow:

Yeah, I shuffled along that bit too.
