t - Two tier, found Blockhead ok but kept making silly errors at the final clip, hadn't memorised the foot sequence properly and despite reworking it after each failed RP had a memory block a little higher each time.

I did this too a couple of times until my friend suggested I clip from the good hold you're going for rather than from below, it does mean you take a bit of a lob if you blow the move but I found that I could focus on the move and save a bit of energy... Did it first go after getting this advice..  Good route...

:D

Me too!! I remember extending the last draw so I could clip it from a lower position. I notice it's gone up to 7b+ in the recent developments guide - felt nails for 7b.

Shark's advice about beta is sound too and I also found this useful redpointing advice:

Cheers for the tips guys, I had extended the sling and am happy clipping after making the move off the undercut for the dishy pockety thing.  It's the subsequent foot moves to enable the reach for the diagonal sharp crimp that I fluffed.  I'm confident it'll go next time with a bit of care, busting to get back there but haven't managed to track anyine down for Thu/Fri yet.

And re the grade, with the exception of one guy of 6'5" everyone I know has said 7b+.  Haven't really done enough at the grades to know myself but happy to take it.
