Nice one G - always thought it was a shame no other problems existed here, the rock is awesome.  Do you start sitting on the rock or do you have to thrutch over it?  Coming over on Thursday - are you about?

Now then Chris.
You start sat on the block with your left hand on the hold I have my right on in the pic and your right hand in the crack out right of the image, with you right foot (out right) on the long thin edge in the roof. Spin round awkwardly avoiding the block with your feet and continue left on the tiny crimps. You could start a little more to the right, but despite highering the grade it would decrease the quality because of the block in the way.

Working all day Thursday I'm afraid.

Not sure if your bothered but Woodwell is soaked...
Oh most of everywhere else is n'all!
