cocoa tea special / jason's roof beta
April 12, 2006, 11:47:30 am
After a bit of beta on Cocoa tea special.at Rhylstone

Remember Sheffield vs Yorkshire battling it out for the 1st ascent (Barker vs Clifford) only for Robin to blow it on the crack but have no knowledge on the climbing. What's the beta for the start and what about the grade for the crack (is it flared or what, would you want to lead it or is it OK to solo, any special gear?)

Also any beta for short persons sequence on Jason's roof at Crookrise?

cheers

Andy

It's team not tea  :wink: .
 I've heard it uses some gnarly little pockets. Sound's like your bag. JB has been on it, he might have some info

Yeah, basically all off one sharp pocket, build up feet, turn into undercut then span to crack. Neither I nor The Van-wad had more than a couple of goes due to the pain. Ben topped out, so no whinging about height. He said the crack was 'basic' YMMV....
