Never heard of it. Assuming you aren't shitting me, what are the details?
That's what i'm talking about! Has anyone done the two B7s at Carrhead Rocks mentioned in PBG? Grade?
He also expressed confusion at the description of the problem left of Mona. Guidebook says "from low finger dishes campus up the wall to the left". Dave remembers trying a sitter from two crimps to hit a break. Ths was a few metres left of Mona. Possibly a different problem than the one in the guide? Anyway, this was also Kristian's project, but Dave doesn't think he ever did it. Don't think Dave did it either.
Co ty nie powiesz7b/7b+Dawid SkoczylasOn page 130 [of Ru’s guide] on the left hand side is a small roof. It starts from sit and hits the middle with a long reach at the end - careful not to hit the block opposite with your feet as you swing from uderneath the roof. Very interesting bloc – you use a palm to get established in the roof, then use it for undercut or sidepull to reach with other hand the round end of the roof. Then hold the swing and a few moves upwards to finish.
Cheers r-man. Have already got the arete left of No Mercy on the list (assuming we are thinking of the same thing), although not from sitting and 7a+. It is very reach dependant and right on my limit which is my excuse for the higher grade. I'm surprised he thought 7a from sitting.
Burbage West (guidebook refs "Peak Bouldering - Fax09", Gritstone)3a PB Eastworld to Westworld 7a+ Edd Klimas , Jerome Foster 26/Jun/05From a sit down start on the grass by the nose of a flat boulder right of the arete pull up and traverse the upper of two low breaks finishing on a finger slot left of westworld.(also has been done with a small extension far right of the flat boulder just above a hollow in the ground using a series of heel hooks and toe hooks,easier for small climbers).8a PBParallel Lines 7aEdd Klimas, Jerome Foster 25/Sep/05From a sit-down start right in the corner beneath the roof of the nose,pull up off the obvious starting jug into a small crimp where the roof joins the wall( big roof undercut not allowed at this grade ). Traverse the break on crimps left round the arete and follow the centre break line on slopes and crimps to the left arete, step up and traverse right along the upper break on more slopes and crimps to the nose. Mantle the nose and top out to finish. (no mantle, no tick).
Mark - Didn't realize there was any 7s there. Saw some stuff you did in an old thread but I think you gave it 6c+.QuoteCo ty nie powiesz7b/7b+Dawid SkoczylasOn page 130 [of Ru’s guide] on the left hand side is a small roof.

Seem to remember a bomber heel-toe and using the side-pull as a gaston. Not bad, but spoilled a bit by the crux being not hitting the block behind you when you release feet.
