Cheers

Pinch test is one / two really hard moves so is difficult to grade. I thought it was easier to red point then the sissy / dangerous brothers / tribes. But those 2 moves were significantly harder than any moves on the other routes. So imo easier but I could full understand anyone that found it harder

Haydn mentioned this in a thread about another route
That sounds exactly like the pinch test at water cum jolly which is 7c+ and definitely not 8a
when replying to
I know nothing, but I do know that no 7c+ has a 7B boulder on top



 ;)

Hahaha. I would give it 8a.

I was with Zippy when he did this and it was definitely giving 7c+ and shown as such in two previous guide books so someone has tinkered with the grade. Anyway I did in jest suggest he grade it VS 7a to reflect how unbalanced it is.
