I think I did a new route at Curbar yesterday. Located on the 'Smiling Buttress' block, it climbs the center of the front face via bad slopers to reach the vague ramp. From here leap to the break and top out via the crack. Very highball 7C/+.
Any idea if it's been done before? The arete is the obvious line that still hasn't been done.

Good work Jim! Pretty much sure that's new.

Good effort Jim. Bet it felt spicey laying one on for that break. The arête and that wall have seen a fair amount of attention. I’m pretty sure Neil Bentley and Rich Heap top roped this or at least did the moves back in the day, but didn’t solo it. I remember Rich telling me about the dyno to the break when I was quizzing him about the arête. I thought the arête might go with a big dyno off a left-hand pinch on the arête and low right hand undercut, but it’s all falling away from you and there’s nothing decent for the left foot.

Good stuff :2thumbsup:

Mega bit of blank canvas that, good effort.
BTW Jim reckons its in the 7c+ boulder range so can we agree its not '6c', what ever the fuck that means anyway...
