ok thanks, zoo york looks amazing....
and no never climbed gritstone before

It certainly is! Completely atypical for grit, but amazing.


how is it atypical for grit?

Gritstone gives all sorts of hold types but the predominant style is very technical, body position and conditions dependent. There are often lots of slopers, pebbles and other holds that simply become unusable when it's warm, but are just enough when conditions allow.

Zoo York on the other hand is a fingery, steeply overhanging board style problem. The holds are still fairly condition dependent, but it's generally a lot more basic and powerful than most gritstone problems.
