Just left of Rambeau essentially climbing the R side of Hawk's Nest Crack (it's not quite as crap as that sounds, the crack is kinda offset so it's much more of an arete than edge of crack type thing). The rock is good the moves are cool, it's a decent height and the landing is good, when climbing it doesn't feel massively eliminate but obv you are not allowed to step around into the crack. If it was a stand alone feature it would actually be a great problem. If you own a decent pair of blinkers and are looking for some wide compression/physical arete climbing in the Peak in the 7C ball park then you could have some fun.
JB turned up and did get a photo, he may share it but he may not bother.
To avoid any Tom/Quentin/Bisharat controversy I would like to point out Caff spotted this line and told me about it. We were thinking of trying it together but I fucked him off and did it myself as to be honest he's a bit of a dick. I only really put up with him as he tells me how amazing I was at climbing in '98 when I nearly climbed up a hard route but fell off (he actually told me to do it "as long as Ned doesn't do it", or at least I think he told me I could do it...)

In fact I might re name it 'Entitled Pricks in the Himalaya'

This post has me giggling away to myself despite being about to start a weekend of night shifts during a good forecast. Thank you.

Well regardless of the problem quality, the caff-baiting is good :yes:

Quick repeat by Varian yesterday, four or five goes I think, and considerably less moves, though he did resort to a ladder so ground-up still up for grabs.
He was also first up a variation on Rambeau which stays under the lip with some crimp rails to finish on the right of the arete (don't bang your head). Great moves, no harder than the original, quite possibly done before but well worth knowing about. Ned added the obvious low start.

The under lip variant is called Beaunus Material. Good fun.
