What's the truth?...  Is the heel on the boss feature at the right hand end of the break in and if so is it really 7c?!!! :?

It had only had one ascent when the guide came out, and I didn't have time to try it. The grade seems to be about 7a now. Not sure how Mike Adams did it on the FA, but he's no slouch, so he might have clibed it an eliminate way.

If I remember rightly, Mick usually pulls on, feet low, and just slaps upward.  As you say, he's no slouch and good at slapping...

did this a coupla weeks ago first go with dence, who did it first go also. we thought 7a/7a+. its still quite a long way to the top

remember it took him 3 visits to tick it the first time tho  :wink:
Just about 7a methinks

had a brief go at this today but sacked it off when it started to rain and also after i fell off with a heel-toe on the arete and took a nasty tumble down the gully beneath it. my advice is try it with a spotter.

Felt like it would be OK though, i pissed to get to that bad crimp, just hard to push that extra bit for the top. with the heel on the arete it maybe could be 7a+ or 7b but I dunno i'm not good at stuff with a deep lock or i'd have done it - plus its a bit freaky with no spot. I also tried it putting a left heel-toe where the left hand goes on Pooh, this felt like it would be similar in dificulty, so I suppose i'm saying that if it turned out to be an eliminate with no arete hold for the foot then its not the end of the world. i'm sure it would go at a similar grade facing the opposite way. if you could do one you could do the other.

just heel on the arete boss thing, go to the bad crimp then again to the top. you need to go with a bit of a slap unless your very good at deep locks or are very tall. took me 3 goes so not that hard really
