Sheep Pen Boulders?
April 29, 2006, 11:14:18 pm
Having recently visited this area in N.Wales me and a mate were trying to do Little Groover V3 on the first block.  Having failed miserably to get of the ground from the sit start (for me this is nothing unusual but for my m8 who can onsight the odd V8 is a little suspect!) we looked at the photo in the bouldering guide. It looks as if a vital foot hold may have broken off at the start, quite a large block too.  Has anyone else noticed this?  If so any ideas of a regrade?

Sorry, that wasn't very helpfull!
Haven't been recently, but I seem to remember it was fucking nails.
Generally these type of enquiries would go under the "Beta" section, which you can find on the forum menu page.

Nope.

It's a one-trick pony.

Match both hands on the undercut, right foot low smear, left foot high smear, so that your knee is close to your chest. Pull up onto your left foot, then static gracefully to the large high hold.

It is V3, if you can do it.

The other way is to go out to the side pull, then to high hold. Decent problem.
