According to the Moon website.

Amazing line and was a much sought after project. Its repelled all up till now.

Wonder what grade it went at? V14?

Anyone know where exactly this problem is?

Is it around the back of the Kacodemon (sp?) boulder where that other big boulder leans against it? 

I'll be there again next weekend, so am keen to give it a look.

Dunno - but there are so many unclimbed hard looking problems, that it could be anywhere....
Will also have a look this weekend if I can work out where it is.

presume it is the steep ramp line thing that tops out on the boulder u start most of the roures in the room from.

was tried by dav n chris etc at last petzl meeting

hard a bit of a play on it seems really cool, top quality rock

im sure u can expect v13 upwards

agree with ferret. presume it's the thing dubbed "fortress of solitude". fantastic looking line, with a stopper move at top, well half way up, which is the move to the top. be interesting to know if he dynoed this or found a concept to pull on

It is indeed the boulder next to the Cacodemon boulder that you jump off to start the 8b+ route on said boulder. I was thhre a few years ago with Tim and pushed him through the 1st move was OK the 2nd seemed pretty impossible. The 3rd v.hard and the next a big jump. Looked amazing.

Isn't there a 'special' task that has to be performed to become a pupil of Dennis Gray's?
