New problem at Secret Garden

"Longman"

Climb directly up the arête used by “Left-hand Man” from a sit start.
Grade: 7c+

F.A. Ed Morgan

More detailed beta - (added for clarity rather than "you must do it this way")
Sit start under blunt arête. Climb arête directly - a steepish start, right hand to 2 finger pocket, then up with left hand to 3 finger pocket. It's is pretty obvious what to do next, just avoid the temptation to traverse right to the big hold off right - that's the finish to Left hand man. Instead make tricky moves up to the obvious slopers from the 3 finger pocket. Longish moves throughout so could be harder for shorties (isn't everything?  :wink: )

What!?! The Ed Morgan - or as David Atchison Jones put it in The POC: 'The Mathematician'?

Left-and man starts in the centre of the right hand face a moves up and left to the arete, then moves back right. Longman starts directly under the arete and goes straight up.

Yup - it's quite obvious when you're there - I've uploaded a pic of a low down move - I think it shows quite well the line of the problem.
