Title: aching balls video?
Post by: douglas on December 28, 2012, 11:07:28 pm

I'm looking for a video of aching balls, the ache ball sit at Hartland. I saw a fuzzy YouTube clip ages ago but can't find it now. Failing that, can anyone describe or point out the starting ledge using a photo in the topo? Thanks!

I have some very old hazy footage which I put on vimeo. It's the third problem in. Be warned this is terrible quality but should give you some idea.

The starting holds of Ache Ball have broken since this video clip, however it has since been re-climbed. Not sure of the new beta though and how different it is from the previous sequence!

And the starting hold of aching balls is gone. Ache ball sequence is the same but I found the cross move into the start of Ache Ball difficult now that that hold is smaller. If that makes any sense!
