Title: [peak] [ Smallfield Dale] [No name] 6c
Post by: Dolly on May 13, 2023, 11:45:44 pm
So I think I did a new problem yesterday
On the low block in front and slightly left of trad buttress. Crawl down to look at the bog roll and bottles in this otherwise idyllic spot
I heard a constant curlew grouse cuckoo geese and lots of small birds whilst I was there
Pull on and hang from the holds you can reach. I only had a starter pad there and I was avoiding the obviously friable lower right side of the flake to not destroy it. With a bigger pad you might be able to sit it
Just in case anyone cares I made a conscious decision to not cut back the bilberry whisks. They didn’t change anything
I’ve had a month off with a bad back so I’m lacking a bit of power but I think 6c is about right

I’ve got a video but it’s embarrassingly ugly. Some stalwarts on here have seen it so I can “show” if required. I’ll probably go again next week to get a better one

If you have my guide you'll be able to see what's done what isn't let me know where it is

Can't tell from the video, has the block got a big hole at the base? And it looked a bit clear in front?

If it is I did it but when I went to do the lower start and started with my feet in the hole I found a fox lived in there.

If its not I have no idea where that block is!
