Fielder's Wall, Baldstones

Has this had an ascent since the pebble broke off? If so then any ideas what the new grade is (if it's changed)?

I think I did it? There was a big crowd, someone might remember. Slightly harder, maybe worth moving up a notch. Still a wierd move though.

What pebble, where? If you mean at the start, the move to get stood up using the pocket is fine, I can't imagine it being any easier with a pebble.

Cool thanks. Pity it's been raining for the last couple of days.

Yeah it was at the start. It was on the left, massive, and generally regarded as crucial - it was certainly helpful anyway! I think Banks or Scouse broke it off?

With no knowledge of the incident in question, my money is on scouse.

In fact neither you or Scouse were there. Just Kanye and myself.

The pebble snapped off whilst I was stood on it attempting to clean the top out. I still have it.

Oddly enough since the pebble snapped i find it easier. although my centre of gravity is quite low these days which helps.

does anyone ever do the sit start to elephant's ear? I think it's a great problem. Well, a great move anyway.
