Just posted up a blog with details of new stuff at Lynmouth. Some fine highballs and some stuff that is accessible when the tide is in.

Has anyone tried the unclimbed roof project next to tombstone in cheddar gorge?
Went to have a look at tombstone but it was sopping wet so was forced onto the neighbouring roof. Did a couple of the moves but linking anything felt proper ‘ard. Wondered if anyone’s given it any attention?

A Walker Kearney problem based in Lustleigh Cleave, Called “The Great White Slope”.

Anyone have any info? Found one clip on YouTube,

https://youtu.be/fRnx3df9tHE?si=4LJQ_Ynnlm4jy4SP

I’ve found the boulder and given it a good clean but will return to finish cleaning with the right equipment.

The clip doesnt state a grade and it’s not on ukc so I can’t find any info on past sends or attempts.

Any info would be great, cheers  :beer2:

If it's a walker problem and he bothered videoing it then probably V8 + Dartmoor grading, so V10 ISH :lol:

It is one of Walker's and he probably graded it 'low to mid 7' or something like that (Macca will have a record of what Walker 'graded' it)...but take any Walker 'grade' with a large bucket of salt.

I presume it will have made its way into the new Devon Bouldering Rockfax guide which will be coming out any day now.

If it's not on ukc it doesn't exist

I can tell you that it is in the Nutcrackers area at the Cleave, it's desperate and probably will need a clean.  Unrepeated AFAIK as is Yankee Doodle Dandy at the other end of the Cleave.  I could find it myself but it is nigh on impossible to describe where it is!!  Go to the Nutcrackers and have a sniff around.
Walker never gives a grade so it could be anything high 7s and up most likely.
