Gardened the juggy buttress today that you almost brush past on the walk-in 50 yards before getting to the eatswood Traverse.



6A+/6B No footblocks. Start matched in the obvious slot on the right end and head left to top out on the nose. This is just within sight of the house so keep a low profile.



6B/6B+ No footblocks. Start matched on chest high holds on lip on left end and make pumpy moves to the slot on the right. Purists wuill match   

Not going to name them yet after last time's experience but they are not here:

Anyone done them already?

Not guilty this time Shark. 
I did have a good look at this block but wasn't sure what the best solution was to making the most of the rock, the left arête start was obvious but didn't think of going all the way right.  Looks like a couple more good lines for the Eatswood collection.
 :great:

no one else is in the mood to fessing up to climbing on a banned crag within sight of the residents

Sharkey's Right and Sharkey's Wrong ?

(to be fair, I know little about the access situation there)

They aren't the landowners - they just take exception to climbers. Its a couple of hundred yards from their house across a field and you are in the trees topping out so you would be unlucky to be seen and they would be trespassing too if they came to do anything about it

Brexistential Angst ?

Good name, I like it.

Also maybe I've missed something but why is it "Eatswood", rather than "eatswood", in the title?

Because when talking about bouldering you capitalise, if we were talking about Corpse Crack (a trad route at the same crag) then we would use the lowercase form 'eatswood'

I messed up. I meant to write eatswood! East not Eats.

banned crags innit - auto change so residents, tree huggers and landowners can't search the internet for proof that dirty climbers plan to trespass on their land and ruin the world

THe right to Left could obviously be Brexit Stage Left. Sorry, hope there was no rush for this.

There's no need to name these problems until someone files for Article 50.

Maybe you mean Eats wood (the start crack is also a problem and probably most climbed that way)

Nope, I meant Corpse Crack (*** HVS 5a).

Ah, it went over my head, I went and checked and couldn't find Eats wood listed (was going to check the BMC guide when I got home but won't bother now).

My original post was intended to be a joke.

A problem into a route of my discovery would more likely be called Eats cakes.

All this name stuff is lost on me but on the climbing front did both problems today. 
Good additions,  quality rock.  Left to right was most decent, climbed more like a roof than a lip style problem. The right to left should go footless but obviously not by me...

What grades ?  On second thoughts don't say ;)

Never thought of footless  :goodidea: - presumably dropping off at the end rather than a muscle-up and handspring for the top out  ;D

B4 and B5   ;D

Once article 50 is invoked I hear Font grades will be first thing to go. :worms:
