Twas ground up! The most inspiring thing I have seen in climbing yet. Ry was psyched to say the least. Top effort it was!!

Pic from thursday's warm-up sesh. All this talk of tall people struggling to reach the hold ain't helping my psyche...

This thread needs more pictures.


What I'd really really like to see is people turning the lip/mounting the beast.

How about Jim_e?

Is there any video footage of an ascent of Careless Torque anywhere?

But let's not get carried away now,


this problem's antique and you'd think that being so close to wad town someone would've found time over the last decade+ . . .



Anyone for Cobalt Dreams then?

It's not a tainting just a distinct lack of imagination.

Fabulous. If people think I'm Ned perhaps I'll be a little more forth coming with opinions.

Tall man's sequence. Only the flexible need apply.
(http://www.zen59200.zen.co.uk/Adam/Galleries/Climbing/ryan.gif)

Jvan's sequence ( and Ron's original, I think), which seems to be better for the shorter, uses left foot on a lower, worse foothold, toehook with right foot, boule over with right hand, hold barn door (photo), step through onto better footlhold with right foot, layback up. Technically a bit harder, but less brutal, and less balancy to stand out.

There used to be a vid of Andy Brown's ascent on the web somewhere, maybe on the Beardown site? Can't find it now.

I had that somewhere but think it got deleted due it being very low quality

I've got a copy of that Andy Brown clip - it's a pretty low res wmv (2mb) if anyone wants it.

It sounds like Ron's beta is what i've tried, failing at the "boule over with RH" step. From the Ryan gif i can't make out how he goes from having LH pinch and RH sloper to having both hands on the arete and left foot really high. question?

I won't leave it there for long, I'll remove it in a week or so. Cheers!

Well just so you have no more excuses, here you go, I've added a couple more frames.

Plus, here's the shot I meant to include with this:

Good beta gif!

I guess being a bit flexible helps.
