Bloody goood effort, although the traverse is now V10/7c+.  Still, no mean feat for a the little bugger!  Well done youth.

Not fair. At age 4 I was still eating dirt and watching Magic Roundabout for fun. Only 5 years before he can drink legally though, all downhill from there.

Sterling effort though.

Not to piss on anyones bonfire but one of my kids club climbers did 3/4 of Jerry's 4 or 5 years ago.  I think that it has something to do with the fact that  he is only 4 feet  tall and fully extended on the holds.

Still a fucking good effort.....................bastard :shock:

what is the score with 8a.nu? does anyone check anything ever? jerrys has never been 8a. shit has never been 7c+. stall arete has never been 7c+. different scorecards claim different grades for the same problem. people have got the same problems in twice. the mind boggles. does anyone take this site seriously?  :roll:

Don't let it get to you dense, they're not worth it :wink: . I think it's what the yanks might call a 'circle jerk'.

It's goin' in at morpho 7c - the crux is much easier if you're short, although the eliminate last rock up must be a bit tricky if you're a wee kid. I presume he knows that it's an eliminate...

I would agree with 7c. Still a very fine effort for a nipper. I'm sure he will have been given the aproved beta by Zippy who's been showing him round I think.
