hello there. anyone out there had a go? i got up it without too much effort the other day which means i must have been doing it wrong :wink: so i just wondered if anyone knows what is 'officially' legal to use because the guidebook doesn't explain it very well. THANKS : )

is this the sit start to the hvs 5c at barkers.

Aye it's a sit start on two pockets then up to the break, but can't figure out if the line is across to the left and up or the easier option of straight up.

The guide says........

24. Fairy Tale Low   5m   HVS 6c

One for the connoisseur! Begin from a sitting position below the bulge just right of Easter Edge. Pull over the bulge then up the wall, starting from a pocket at chest height. Sounds easy doesn't it!

i'm not sure if its the one i think it is.i did something starting on the pocket l/h,slap up the arete with r/h,heel hook round arete,then reach to hold on arete with l/h.then you're on the stand up hvs.i remember the description did'nt quite fit the rock in front of me,but if i'm on about the right problem the name fitted.
i thought it was about v6/7 but i was probably being generous as i wanted to belive i'd had a good day and it was summer.

nice one cheers! i had a trudge about and found a photo of it if it helps. it sounds similiar to how you described so i'm happy if it's the right one! besides...whatever it is, it's probably the nicest guidebook problem i've found at scug besides humbug!

yep thats the one.there was another sit start arete i did given 6b which was quite good although it was only a couple of moves.it might be super skunk.
