John Welford did a new problem last winter pictured above which he thinks is the FA - I've no idea where it is but I think Bonjoy is in the know

It's on the buttress just south of the Microbe/Old Salt area.

It's a FA. I cleaned it a bit a year last April, but it's quite scrittley/high/hard. Never properly tried it. There's a line just to the right as well. Nice one John.

Welford? 7C?
Does that mean it could be anywhere from 7C to 8A?!

Great stuff. I knew John had done this but didn't realise it would climb like that. Looks better than I'd thought.

It's actually pretty big and it's not a flat landing. Though I never really gave it a proper go, I suspect it's Welford 7C (
) as just getting out from beneath the roof is hard and the arete/that pocket are very rounded. The line up the middle might go with a gaston and a desperate shouldery press for a sloping finger rail. I was put off by the general scrittliness tbh.

John did the line to the right as well - said it was easier than the left hand one

I have added this problem to peak bouldering. If anyone, more in the know, wants to edit the details then do so.
Hopefully the video will entice some more attention, it's a great last move!

That looks ace! Burly roof moves to a big slap, sounds like Eclipse!
