Well I'm swayed by Adam and Percy's arguments so I'm now going for Carless Torque. Have not done Spare Rib (or CT for that matter  :shock: ) but its not quite as prominant as CT.

Yeah but its too bloody hard to be classic!

Few people close to a ground up ascent now though, so maybe its getting easier  :shock: That arete is getting better i reckon, the more people squeeze it  :wink:

You can't have anything lanky twats can just wobble their way up without climbing the thing. Hence Deliverance is out. And it has to be hard, else we'd all be agreed on Crescent arete. The difficulty stops them getting polished, keeping the true grit character.
So Careless torque it has to be. Take it from me, the first time you do that first move is fookin amazing.
Sad to hear Andy Brown was top-roping it last week. A man of his calibre :cry: If I was as strong and tall as him it'd be on the circuit by now :wink:

so thats who the chalk belonged to - ever single hold on the arete and either side was caked with chalk - looked a right mess. I almost thought there must have been some frenchies at the crag!

So, what is the beta for CT then. As, believe it or not, ive never seen anyone on it! Take it its jump upto arete with left with right hand on poor sloper. Then what?  :roll:

[Johnny Brown]

...left foot onto shit foothold, right foot toehook, match on arete and start laybacking. Climb up for miles, realise your still nowhere near the jug, retreat Thats my beta anyway

Hmm okay, might have a play on Saturday! Play being the operative word.

Whats your right toe hooking?

I hope you've got a large umbrella.

[Johnny Brown]

The lip on t'other side of t'arete. And no giving Ryan any of this beta. It wouldn't work for him. Oh no, he's definitely the wrong size. No point him even trying it. :wink:

Any online pics of this amazing problem? I have heard of it before, but don't remember seeing any images of it. We rarely see anything about Brit bouldering in our mags, a shame as grit really is pretty rock.

i saw seb grieve repeatedly falling off the start a few years back

[Blunk]

Thanks Dave!

That looks bloody hard, perhaps because I suck at slopey aretes...

[Dutch Master Killa]

Erm... maybe syrett's saunter at caley.  Probably the only reasonably hardish problem ive done which felt so smooth.  More like a miss spain or portugal than owt else! Failing that horror arete or NTBTA, they're proper bo too!!
