Diesel Power
July 07, 2006, 08:47:21 pm
Had a look at this before and reckon I'm in with a chance.

Any kind soul out there want to describe in great detail all the moves in the correct sequence?  Also, is there any height restrictions?  I'm a bit of a short arse and don't fancy wasting a 5 hour journey to find out I can't reach.

Cheers.

Haven't done it but believe/heard the short-ass beta is to keep yr right foot rather high so you can move your left hand up from that lovely crimp.

Its defo harder for the short but little lad Mark Katz has done it so its defo possible. Incidently this is pretty much the only problem that stopped Rich Simpson during his blitz of North Wales bouldering a few years ago.

I was chatting to geordie lad, Chris Graham about this a few weeks ago. He said he'd had a few specific missions to do it, but had got spanked. He reckoned it was hard for 8a.

This is genuine diesel power.

Now I'm driving in a JCB......
