Post by: Bonjoy on November 16, 2004, 01:33:55 pm: Is it the LH sit start as opposed to the start out right which Andy Gray did? I'm sure it must be, seeing as Uptowngirl pointed out the RH sitter last time I was there. If so good effort the Crome, it looked like at least V9 to me!

Post by: jonP on November 16, 2004, 01:40:41 pm: I think Andy Gray did the left hand start around September/October last year, and Andy Banks did the other start. But there are so many Andys involved I'm getting confused.

2. V9
Sit-start to the left of the arete and traverse right along the lip (without the plinth at the back of the roof) to finish up Rageh Omaar.

3. Neutrificationised V9
From the plinth at the back of the roof, use two slots to reach the lip and finish up Rageh Omaar.

Both the un-named one and Neutrificationised are V8.

Post by: jonP on November 16, 2004, 07:52:08 pm: Oh dear. I fucked up completely. Andy Gray is actually Mike Gray, and I've no idea which version of the sit start he climbed. I really shouldn't be allowed to run a website, or to post on here. Apologies to all concerned.
