Ian, Neil or any body else… on the big isolated buttress at stone farm, facing the easy route up. What is the overhanging problem with a low start up the right arête. Sitter with a dish for the left hand and a crimp for the right?
Any ideas, name grade etc???

yeah stinging nettle , maybe 7a+ but think it is going in the new guide at 7a

3 methods the easiest being the slappy way , with lots of right hand moves, but can also be done using the drilled out mono on the left or by rocking up on the right
