Earl - Tick List?
May 15, 2006, 01:14:35 pm
Alright guys

Not been on for ages.

Just wondering what the top ticks are for Earl up to around V6-V7?

I've always neglected it simply because it was a bit out of the way, but a change in circumstances means its now fairly accesibile.

Lots of wicked stuff to do!
Handy Andys V7
Butterfly wall V7
Desert island arete V7
Grape nut V6 stepping off the boulder or V8 from the floor
Rons slab V6
Rons arete V6
John Dunne slap V4 but classic

Few good V8's for future:
Sloping beauty
Superfly
Andy browns wall

All really good problems it is a wicked crag but does not get good weather, if it is raining at any crag in Yorkshire this is normally the one!

Enjoy!

What's the knack then as I'm very much at the tricky stage? I thought it was just basic pulling on edges.

I thought the knack was getting your left leg a bit further left round the vague arete when you go for the big hold with your right hand. seemed to make this (crux) move a lot easier for me.
