Hello, here is a wee vid of a winters day at Bowden Doors.

Nice. Is that a Bean on Mantra? And some quality gurning on Born Slippy topout.

Lens could do with a clean though, looks minging in the opening bit.

Bowden AND Raven's crag! I found the Raven's stuff hard.

Nice vid, I like the footage of the softly spoken floppy haired lankmeister on Born Slippy, someone buy him a belt though!

The moment the sun comes out on Formication is lovely.

Lore, does your project in the roof share the same start as Michele's new 8B+, and if not, have you done it from this start? Seems the logical line to me.

hey Duma!!! it's a bit complicated but not so much: I'll try to be clear.
there are two lines straight under the roof now: Michele's 8b+ and an old 8a/+. the both share the same start on the juggy rail.
my problem avoids the juggy rail: starts lower and takes a series of holds on the right, then goes back again left to join the big jug at the end of the rail, where you are matched before getting the horrible pinch left hand.
so my line puts together a starting variation and then the easier line.
a wad's line could put together my starting variation and Michele's 8b+!!! I suggested it to him but he said "no way!!!"
if you watch a few of my videos and Michele's one, all these differences will be clear!!!

then, to finally answer your question, I have done the classic line but never tried the 8b+ seriously.
