Title: [peak] New 8A on Gorilla Warfare block?
Post by: Banana finger on October 16, 2021, 02:32:57 pm

Hi All, I might have done a new one on this block. It starts sitting on the block at the right hand end of GW with a right hand pinch and left hand edge. It traverses left along the rail and finishes up Hurricane.

Certainly felt a grade harder than hurricane sitter 7C+. Guess the grade depends on the size of your winky. Mine is of average length, girth and vascularity and it felt about 8A to me  ;)

It adds really good climbing into Hurricane which is over way too soon.

A good name would be "All Gorilla, No Filla".

Surely new, I don't think recall many takers to make Hurricane harder.
