What an excellent problem. Start right hand vertical crack, reach up with left to sidepull undercut pocket thing, run feet up wall to half decent smears and then turn left to undercut pinch, now then the question is - move with left or right to pocket?

Feels more like I could go with my right...

Has anyone tried that Welford thing to the right? hard.

scouse hits the pocket with left hand.

i've tried great white, but always seems to be when it too hot/col/shit skin/climbing like shit. I recon it'll go if i can get it on a good day.

the top looks both scary and hard - thats if you have to crimp the fcuk out of that little vertical edge thing and rock for the top... if you can break out right then it looks ok.

Dunno bout Ben's - just gonna have to go for it I reckon. Saw your mate - the dude with the Fro at Curbar on Friday to...
