Title: Clifford Does The Room Project
Post by: Adam Lincoln on May 23, 2007, 07:11:55 pm: According to the Moon website.

Amazing line and was a much sought after project. Its repelled all up till now.

Wonder what grade it went at? V14?

Post by: dom on May 23, 2007, 11:11:44 pm: Anyone know where exactly this problem is?

Is it around the back of the Kacodemon (sp?) boulder where that other big boulder leans against it?

I'll be there again next weekend, so am keen to give it a look.

Dunno - but there are so many unclimbed hard looking problems, that it could be anywhere....
Will also have a look this weekend if I can work out where it is.

was tried by dav n chris etc at last petzl meeting

hard a bit of a play on it seems really cool, top quality rock

im sure u can expect v13 upwards

Post by: a dense loner on May 24, 2007, 09:49:18 am: agree with ferret. presume it's the thing dubbed "fortress of solitude". fantastic looking line, with a stopper move at top, well half way up, which is the move to the top. be interesting to know if he dynoed this or found a concept to pull on

Post by: Andy Harris on May 24, 2007, 09:32:40 pm: It is indeed the boulder next to the Cacodemon boulder that you jump off to start the 8b+ route on said boulder. I was thhre a few years ago with Tim and pushed him through the 1st move was OK the 2nd seemed pretty impossible. The 3rd v.hard and the next a big jump. Looked amazing.
