Title: [Cheshire][Harmer's Wood][The Prodigal Sons][6C+]
Post by: Will Hunt on June 15, 2015, 01:50:57 pm: Andy pointed me at this and I'm very glad that he did. A nice wall climb. Highball. Worth repeating and the top out will stay clean as you use a root and tree .
In Haydn's Quarry, climb the back wall just left of the right-hand corner, using a pair of invisi-holds and a long reach.

Andy's other climb on this wall, The Midnight Bell, looks very good indeed and wild, but has succumbed to brambles on top. An interested party would clear these in the space of 10 minutes - hardly a chore. The highballs in Haydn's all look stunning and there is plenty more to go at (hand's off Andy's project!). Get stuck in, locals.

Yet again I have failed to repeat it for video so you will have to make do with this.

Cheers!
