Took Sam Lawsons Qui Gone Gym and eliminated the side walls making it a fully pure narrow compression line. Maybe a hard one if you don’t have pecs! Not settled on grade yet but put it up at 6C+ - felt quite hard and took me about 10 or so burns to work out the triple bump beta.

That's terrible beta for The Kursk!
On a more serious note, does eliminating a foothold or two from the other problem warrant a new name and claim?

I would say so. I showed it to Sam and he said it looked really good. Sam did it using kneebars using the side wall so not exactly using “one extra foothold” :)

I think I did FA of The Kursk. I certainly named it. I have a guilty smile every time I see the name written down.

Reminds me of the forgotten 'classic', Captain Thugwash at Higgar tor.

So mega that you didn’t climb it despite your pads already being underneath it? :-\

There’s a thing called prioritising and not wasting skin. Just because I like the look of something doesn’t mean I’m gonna climb it there and then. Rocks not going anywhere is it :chair:

I'd say it's logical. It feels a bit strange using the disjointed block to the left on the 6B+ version, so doing the pure compression line makes sense and climbs very differently.

It's already an established problem though, and there aren't any holds to eliminate ;)

People chatting shit before they’ve even tried a climb, could there be anything that embodies UKB better? I think not!

Like you're going to lose any skin on your fingers on The Kursk ::) Although maybe one could do a new problem by not jamming it :-\

I’ve done quite a bit of crack climbing and you definitely lose skin on both sides of the hands :lol:

I’d actually say that’s the complete opposite of what embodies UKB

the low low start looks good

I wonder what that will be called?

Nice one compression wod

Nothing different. Just changing the line to start from the lower start at 7A instead of 6C+
