Big Gay Bear, Burbage, 7C

Saw this logged on Tom Newman's scorecard on 8a.nu and wondered if anybody knew what it was?

(Googling lead to unrelated, unwanted but not surprising results)

It is essentially a direct start to the E5 Big Bad Wolf at Burbage South. I've tried it before, it's not easy for 7C! It's an overhanging scoop with a huge lock off a sloper.

Just left of Ned's recent sitdown then?

Yes exactly, left of Thick End of the Wedge (BTW the consensus on this seems to be 8A now rather than 7C+). I Imagine it drops off at the break as the landing is bad for the upper bit.

I think Tom said he topped out right into Home Cooking.
