Did the wall to the left of tiger today. Couldn't find it any where online so assume its a first ascent. Really good 2 move boulder

I'm sure I was always under the impression either Dutch or Huffy had done this years back. Someone else might know for sure?

Ratbags, this has been a long term aim of mine and worms, code named the aubergine toe project. We even showed it to Leo about ten years ago who couldn't get up it. We always thought it would be closer to 7c as grim holds with sharp crystals. Nearly went down today to try it, glad I didn't.

Checked with Dutch, he did do it way back when, suggesting 7a ish, but didn't reckon it was an FA then. He also said there's one "between" this and tiger, presumably using a hold on each.

That. Could be right, I think we were using the same right hold and the small edge straight up. We were trying to go right hand up to a crap edge up and right

This is Haydn's idea of resting his injured finger.  :lol:
