Oh yes, in the pursuit of pain I've been hunting out a few things at Wharncliffe and came up with a nice little steep offwidth boulder problem. I'm guessing it's not been done before as most poeple aren't that sick and twisted in their approach to climbing... 

Actually a pretty cool problem and something well worth looking out for as I don't know of much like it. 70 degrees overhanging, requiring butterfly jams and foot cams all the way to the end. There's a block out left at the end, which makes the finish easier, but would be very eliminate if you tried to leave it out, so I did it with the block in (provides a usefull handjam).

Stand start at the back and make your way to the top - pretty obvious! Beautifully painful and good quality moves. Thought it was about V5 (I'm not up for easy grades on cracks  ) and called it "Butterfly Crack."

Here are a couple of pics:

Nicely done.
But, taping up?  I mean, c'mon, man/mouse etc

I gotta say that that does not look like my bag at all!

Nothing wrong with that when you've got a pair of ready made gloves always stuck in the bottom of your bag....!

I don't do it much, but thought they'd illustrate the butterfly jams better in this case...    Besides, when you're climbing 6 or 7 days a week it's worth keeping your hands in good shape.

No arguing with that!
I have an allergy to cracks, y'see.  Bring me out in a (grit) rash.

Wouldn't it be better as a layback?

Tom, looks like it would go in a 'Dire Straits/Springstein bandana' head jam style. I have no doubt you have one of those in the bottom of your bag.

if this is the thing i think it is (almost underground level, right of the Hell gate area?) then its an old project of Mo Overgrade's.

Alright Stallioni - just you wait until the 30th August.... You thought you were getting an 8a crimp fest to onsight - maybe they'll be a nice little offwidth waiting for you boys....

Hey, if it is.... at least it's not an overgrade?!    I'm sure Mo would have be able to do it though. Sounds like we might be talking about the same thing though as it is down and right of Hell Gate. I guess if anyone was mad enough to bother doing a repeat of it they could confirm the grade.
