go to burbage west and carry on to the last little bit. yep, thats the one, the wall with the big ramp line. what are the grades/names of these problems. the sit start to the sharp left arete was good (two over lapping halves
must get stronger) the bulge on the right mystifying and the slots up the left of the wall bewildering.

Any beta for Spartacus anyone? I had a tickle and it felt sort of doable. I assume you are allowed both the small slots on the left for hands? Is it just an all out leap off a high right foot smear, or is there some other trickery?

undercut the hold with your right, move your foot up. then tell me it's not dirt. it's a line for a line's sake. i also mean dirt in a hard, tendon popping way. strangely it's next to famous grouse, one of the best probs in the peak. the yin and yang of it all

I know what you're saying, it's quite eliminate, but it afforded me a goodly measure of amusement, so why grumble?
Yes, we did actually go there to try Famous Grouse, but it was just too damn waaaam in the sun. It does look an awesome problem. Next time gadget.
Is the grouse Yin or Yang? That's the sort of beta I need.

here's some slightly less generous grades for the problems. Famous grouse is apparently B5 or english 6a....welford will be gutted he didn't make the fist ascent and that he so badly overgraded it. Forshame.
