I've got the horn for The Horn

What an awesome problem at Caley! Brilliant moves that only take a little working out. Very aesthetic problem too. My mate was trying it a different way that, instead of focussing on the left arete used the pinch quite heavily on the right. I reckon he was making it hard work for himself. Anyone care to share their sequence?

Forgot to say, it's an amazing problem, but the left arete on its own is even better.

Thats a mad sequence. Will try it next time I'm down there.
Mines:
RH - Pocket on right arete
LH - High on Left Arete
RF - Small pocket low down
LF - Toe on medium edge on left arete.
RF - Match toes
LF - Up again to the left arete.
LH - Dynamic move to high on left arete.
RH - Up to the high pocket. (First couple of times I did it this resulted in a violent cut loose [which could easily be held] but which became more static the more I did it).
Campus (for the beans) to finishing jug.

Its very woo   :great:

Ha, that's the sequence I was going for Andi, seems like a much better plan to me - I can't reach the hold will starts from without a mat anyway, lanky bastard :P It's all about the static moves, no such slapping up the arete!
