old 2 tier project climbed

(1/2) > >>

ANIMAL:
the old project nicknamed Orange Suntan on 2 Tier was finally done on Wednesday by Ben Moon , at 8b ( font 7c+ }
it looked about E8 with a potential ground scraping fall . He  climbed it on the bolts placed by Rupert Davies he has since moved the significant bolt up a bit and replaced the rest and the belay .
I first placed some pegs in this thirty years ago to hold me in to try it on a tope rope but quickly abandoned the idea and ever since have suggested it to various people so it was nice to be there and watch it done

Really cool this was done by Ben Moon, 36 years after Jerry did the route next to it. Still got it!

Ru:
Glad he got it done. I didn't bolt it though - I just tried it briefly and pulled a hold off before doing Kali Yuga. Keen to try Ben's method with the new crimp he found - I thought it was about font 8a+ off the pinch. Is he going to stick with the name?

abarro81:
Called "Lockdown" I believe (unless he's changed his mind)

Fiend:
....along with 30 other FAs nationwide this spring!

Great effort Ben, still got it indeed.
