The Bob Marley Extension - Font 7c
June 08, 2007, 09:19:30 pm
On Wednesday evening, under the influence of surprisingly chilly and windy conditions I got my project for the last month done. Finally....

It's an extension to the Zippatrocity problem at the Cowper Stone and is called "The Bob Marley Extension" cos he's a master of jammin'!

Start on the RHS of Cowper Stone. On the back corner there's a small cave - enter from the back (I didn't say it was pleasant!) and jam your way out through the roof (hands and feet in roof) to emerge into the daylight. Another 7 or 8 moves across slopey holds and jams bring you to the end of the zippatrocity traverse. Then reverse the entire problem (which weirdly is harder in reverse) to finally end with the pump of your life at front left-hand arete.

Considering that Zippatrocity took me about 3 goes to do and this took maybe 20-25 attempts, I'll plump with a grade of about Font 7c. Others can confirm!

Enjoy...
