Post by: olliecamel on January 11, 2018, 12:25:33 pm: Does anyone know where this problem is? I have seen a video that says cuttings but it’s not in the guide. Thanks in advance

Its on the left side of the boulder that had all the resin holds on below the terminator bloc. some of the bolts stayed in after the holds broke, leaving the 'frankenstein neck' bolts in place. Frankenstein is from sitter and escapes left. Frankenstein direct does what it says via a powerful jump and a bit of a tricky mantel. About 7b and 7b+ respectively.

Have fun.

Cheers all for responding
