Just been watching Chris Davies trying said problem when it was V13, who came up with the new sequence?

I believe its origin was Scouse, but not 'the' Scouse. We kept him off it, in case he broke any of the holds...

I think it was a joint effort by cass, big malc and ding dong. I'm claiming discovering the kneebar though

I find it hard to believe that Jamie found any sequence that didn't consist of simply avoiding all use of foot holds and relied on just campusing through the difficulty. Let's face it, he's done most of his hard climbing wearing a pair of Vans.

Bloody hell!!
Possible training progression for the training freaks...
Start with pull ups in rollerskates, work up to locking off with a pair of ford escorts, then campussing with vans?

Apparently Jamie is now working on doing Rockatrocity with a pair of forklift trucks strapped to his ankles. When he manages this it will be a major step forward in bouldering difficulty. No one has previously climbed this hard with heavy lifting gear attached to their body. One difficulty of this challenge is managing to hold the swing with nearly five tonnes of vehicle attached and little room in the cave to let the legs swing low.

But on the other hand he can use the lifting forks at the front like crampons. Be easy to step on tiny edges wearing forklifts. I'd only be impressed if he managed it with a couple massey-fergusson tractors strapped to his feet.

Massey Fergusson tyre rubber has fantastic friction properties, comparable to onyx.

Whatever next, Directors cut with a pair of Combine Harvesters for footwear?

Don't be ridiculous Andy. You'd never manage to get a combine harvester through the tollgate at the start of Marine Drive. Far too wide for that narrow gate.
