Hi guys, new here, thought I'd share a few of the new problems at Huntsham in the Wye Valley. I will add some of the others at new areas in the Forest on another thread.
All problems are low grade <f6B+ family fun mostly.
Feel free to contact me if you have any queries or want to know info on their locations.RAINY DAY BUTTRESS *Very esoteric, very loose but worthwhile moves IMO. they will surprise you, I hope!
f6B+ - Where there's Muck there's BrassTraverses right to left, starting on the pebble undercling. Finishes up 'A boulder for a Rainy Day' (see below)
f6A - A Boulder for a Rainy DayStart on the low shelf, go up and to a pocket via a cool move. Finish on the jug.
f5 - Pick Pocketstarts on the jug far right of buttress, cool moves through a pocket.
f6B - Suckling on the Teat of PercivalStarts left of 'A boulder for a rainy day' on obvious jug, traverses left via a hard span (warning, foothold broken recently) and up 'Pick Pocket'

THE BOULDERS AREA (right of Twix etc...)f4/5 - Within ReachFun problem, stand by for a few eliminates. At the top of the larger boulder. Standing start or sit start under the slight overhang, go up and over - beware of the drop to the right!
f5 - The Mind of a SquirrelTraverses right to left up the arete, just below 'Within Reach'
f5 - Cool TreesA small boulder right of the above problems.
FINAL BUTTRESS (ironically the first buttress just off the track as it bends)f4+ - GeckoFun problem! Sit start and lunge via a pocket to the top. Top out into the overhang (lol)
f4 - Snapping TurtleStarts just left of 'Gecko'
Enjoy! Again, let me know if you have any questions on them.
