Effort Tom. Reckon only P-Widdy would be up to the repeat.

I was thinking who the potential repeaters (if any) could be, quite a specialist problem.

Great effort Tom R- that thing is mega. Its been a while since I been in that Cave, is there another crack system in there too?

I recon Tom Newberry could come up with a ridiculous way to climb it. (I seem to remember him saying he didn't use a single jam on All Elements)
  Was there on Sunday and witnessed Tommy cranking out some of the moves for some pics. It was very soggy which made it all the more impressive.  :strongbench: Don't think wee Tom Newberry could avoid the jams on this one.  Amazing line and amazingly difficult piece of climbing!
There is the possibility of a line coming out straight from the back of the cave via horizontal climbing through a vague groove/ crack/ weakness.  Would involve knee bars, all kinds of weirdness and is very long!

Nice on, that looks silly hard. Did you videoify the ascent?

Hotaches have been down there with me... Although there's still some more work to be done. Final format of the film is still a little up  in the air. Quick hit 2 min job? 5 min webisode? A more story-like feature?

Could have Periscope'd it.

That crack/groove feature is insane. One of the best I've seen anywhere. Would be very, very hard indeed. Imagine how good it'd look all chalked up! Pinch and kneebar heaven.

Stop the mutha fuckin' press. Do you have to climb part of this 'orrible crack too, or is it just pinchy kneefunkery?

Seriously Alex it's the absolute snizzle. I never tried it as I couldn't see any jams. My guess would be 9a-9b+ or V13-15 at a complete guess. It's very long. Although granted if any of the kneebars were proper rests then the grade would be at the bottom end of those ranges.

Good effort! I tried this a few years ago - and it is most definitely hard (http://ukbouldering.com/board/index.php/topic,8716.msg239389.html#msg239389.

For those of you who have never been to Hartland Quay, it is an amazing feature. Absolutely fantastic that it has been climbed, well done!
