Anyone got any beta for this? It feels like a puzzle that I'm trying to solve in the wrong way! Assuming its match hands on the arete crimps/holds then lay one on for the higher left slopers?

I got beta but would probably have to have the problem in front of me to remember properly.

But, I think the best way is to go over big with rh to the obvious bit on the edge of the groove/arête, match next to it, then with a high right foot and low left you bob up for the next holds. When you get it sussed it's ok.

I had 3 sessions on this and didn't do it. Even got a rope on it to feel the holds. Quite a bit shorter than you and Dave tho. Also a while ago but from what I remember my beta was like Dave's. High right foot was key I remember. Matching was causing me problems.

Hmm. Remember this being a bit of an is-that-it? problem. Bit fiddly up the groove, then its done? Sorry, that's my beta!

Thanks All - Dave your beta makes sense _ thiugh I managed to get matched by going up with my left to the shutter part of that edge/arête - then using a cunning right heel toe cam to keep myself on when matching with the right. But this leaves my rh on top of the gold instead of having it as a sidepull (with thumb over the top)- which is needed to make the last move slap up.

High repute. It doesn't feel reachy more odd and very sequency..

Anyway it kept me occupied for 90 min :). Cheers all.

High right foot out right and roll up arête with right hand, slap up with left.

That makes the 'roll' sound so easy cofe (rubs shoulders and stiff sides). :)

While we're on BW beta - what's the score with the 7A on the far lh side. The end is easy to see - but start/middle looked either wack or u feasibly hard for the grade (from what I could see)...
