Does anyone know anything about a roof problem at Gardom's North exiting from the right side of the low roof containing a 6b on the left arete and a 6c problem through the middle with a mantel top out? The problem is about 7b+ and I had heard that Rich Heap did the first ascent, but he's not so sure. It's on the second roof as you walk into the main area, the one after A Tasty Graunch. I think it's on Bonjoy's list as "Low Mantel Roof RH ?"
I'm looking for name/ first ascent etc.

The FA was either Harris or Heap. I'm not aware a name was given. You could try PMing Andy
-
heap & spanish kev apparently. is this a contender for the lowballest thing in the peak?
-
Is this it?

If so, it's called 'Joint Care' and it's on page three of the Midgrade Gardoms thread.

Thats a negatory good buddy.
-
Joint Care is positively highball compared to the RH Roof mantel problem thingy.
-
If it was Spanish '8c' Kev who did it first then I think this might be the problem I've heard reference to as 8c Cave

Except Rich doesn't think he's done it. It's not Joint Care.
-
I'm certain Harris has done at least an early ascent
-
He is in his mid 70s after all.
-
8c cave is at the other end. I wouldn't put it in a guide, unless as an illustration of just what people will climb.

The spotter seems to be looking at the floor.

There's enough of those in already.

Kudos wall staying in then?

Remember Niall has put a Gardoms pdf on the BMC site.

Rich did indeed do the 1st ascent, i know as i was watching. Unless you were a piece of paper it would be technically impossible to spot anyone on it. Personally I'd like think it just means you need extreme body tension and less than adequate glutes.
I think we thought it 7b as it actually has quite a hard tension move from the good crimp in the roof(rh) to the top. Then a tasty graunch to finish. The name escapes me. It started as for the obvious RH roof problem and quickly goes right & out.

Is this another One Inch More :'(

Luckily I frequently take this guy out bouldering with me. ;)

Rich Heap has now remembered - he did do it, it's 7b, and it's called Wishbone.

It is low but not as much (or shabby) as One more inch.
