I'd be keen to give it (and the SS) a go again too so if you need extra pads/spotters then let me know.
.... I probably could do some easy toproping but not yet found the right person available at the right time (I'm thinking indoor wall, quiet as possible, extremely attentive belayer!) Hopefully back up in sheffield for a quick visit in the next week, first time i'll have been back home since June!

Good opportunity to do lots of easy laps and get a great base of aerobic capacity. /Barrows
So, been and managed the moves today. Sod larking about with a thumb for the RH, crimp the bollocks off of it, twist RF and stand up into the LH sidepull. Taking RH gaston leaves me too stretched so use a pinch under the roof to get RF on and stand up. Felt ok but still more gnarly, sharp and nasty than enjoyable.

I think the very bendy legged have an easier time on this perhaps, more weight on feet i'd guess. I remember not really pulling on the razory wafer thing, more using it for balance? Get stretching?!
Su - Planned to meet Filz at Cuvier, I arrived early and climbed as crap as I usually do there. Did some easier stuff, bashed my knuckles in on a orange problem. Lack of network meant we didn't manage to meet as planned, but found each other by luck. I was trying this again https://bleau.info/cuvier/8331.html. We had a couple of goes each, then decided he'd better see Cuvier before it rained, we walked a few feet and it started raining. Chatted under charcuterie for a bit, then went home. Hope he has better luck tomorrow.
I'll be heading to the Foundry quite regularly from November and will be happy to give you a belay.
