I was having a properly crap day. I fell off a Font 5 at Earl Seat before moving to Carncliff! Felt low on blood sugar all day.
Having said that, I do think that there are some genuinely difficult problems on the moors. It might not be a giveaway at 6B but the grade is in the right ballpark and on a par with problems of a similar grade and style. There are far too many soft touches in bouldering that are allowed to go unchecked, mainly because they're good problems which people can't bring themselves to grade properly because they know that 6s are looked down upon as pointless and crap by many boulderers. People assume that once they've moved into the 7s then it is beneath them to climb 6s. It's not true. Some of my best friends are Font 6s.
Yes we can!
