Does anyone know the history of this problem?  Am I right in saying it was originally given 8A+?  Carlo Traversi says in the Swiss Account he doesn't think it's any harder than V10.  Does look classic.

its pretty basic (like most things in swiss). I'm sure its one of those "it's easy if you're strong..."

I was thinking it looks like the kind of flat crimpy line that could feel two grades easier to a new school wall rat beast than it did to some old school first ascentionist.

Weeks? Weeks? You desert-dwellers don't know lucky are! Months in Scotland....they should move all the crops up here. And move all the Scots down south and let them and londoners kill each other off.

Dobbin tried this recently. He said it was hard, but as we know he's shit on board problems with crimps

I moved from Scotland to London via Australia, I know exactly how lucky I am.  :)  Months of rain < weeks of rain <  Sydney.

Paul Robinson and traversi both said 7c+ but the consensus is still 8a+ as far as I'm aware. Let's call it hard 8a then ;D

I guess he's a fairly handsome man Al but heaven could have Depp or Pitt crushing font whilst you watched. Don't dumb down your expectations of heaven mate.
