Direct looks ace - a fine effort by the Brans-wibble. Looked at this last year and can confirm it goes but is filthy hard...... :shock:
Sorry Ru, but heres another new problem courtesy of Gaz Parry and myself at Rowtor to further compound the dated nature of the forthcoming guide.'The Woodhead Hitcher' climbs through the centre of the roof left of Short Seans reachy roof, and the other problem up the arete and runnels.Start in the break right in the middle of the front face (the middle of the traverse), stuff a baggy foot jam in and reach out for a lovely little scoop on the lip. Udge leftwards until the obvious big runnel is gained, shuffle up this and mantle, exiting direct. The landing is quite 'exciting' but the hard moves are easily spottable. We thought Font 7a, and a good one at that. The big pocket in the roof on the right is not used at this grade.Wierd - spent a lot of time on this block over the years but didn't notice this new line until today - nice new 7a's are a bit of a rarity these days judging by the new stuff mentioned previously in this topic! Gaz also repeated Domes sit start (3rd ascent?) and confirmed the grade at solid 7c+, and the quality saying that without knowledge of the beta it could feel a lot harder........don't they always!Saw the chalk on My Buddy the Apple but didn't try the direct, just Lovejoys 'out-of-date' indirect version - a bit scary without many pads and spotters! Direct looks ace - a fine effort by the Brans-wibble. Looked at this last year and can confirm it goes but is filthy hard...... :shock:
