Two points of order here:A. It's not in the current Vertebrate guide.B. It's shite.
Funny, everyone I have talked to who has done Alacrity thinks it's pretty good. They must be daft because now I find out that everyone who hasn't even tried the climbing can tell instantly the climbing is rubbish.
It's shite.
I visited the crag for the first time yesterday. I did Alacrity then the sit (both good problems) and used the good flattie on Fingermuse out left for the LH as it was within reach. I wondered why it didn't feel like a Font 7C then watched a few videos and saw that people are going direct for the RH crux undercut using the lower undercut for the LH. Unfortunately, in reference to previous comments on this thread, the sit at Font 7C via this direct method is an eliminate. The stand is also soft at 7B using the Fingermuse flattie for the LH (7A+ this way I thought). I did it again without this hold with my LH in the lower undercut instead to pull on and this was much harder, proper peak 7B this way I reckon. Ran out of power before doing the proper sit method but seemed like 7C this way.Nothing wrong with eliminates (look at Minus 10 and Rubicon etc), this should perhaps be mentioned in the next guide just so its clear.
There seemed to be a fresh brown scar
There seemed to be a fresh brown scar under the lower LH undercut on the sit and it seemed quite poor, anybody know if this hold has broken recently? Its still doable this way
