curbar warfare clarification
September 01, 2012, 07:13:01 pm
I finally plucked up the courage to climb the left side of the left arete behind warfare which we've always called Veale Thing.
Checking the UKC logbooks its listed as Gorilla Arete - 6b which felt about right, but does that mean the Veale things on the right of the left arete?

IIRC, yes, and it's got a well hard reach on it.. Not bought a guide fr 10 yrs.. Concensus may have changed... And I'm old and vague

just checked peakboulderinginfo and I'm fairly sure it was Veale Thing given E2
then found VG peak bouldering guide which says stiff E1 5b.
so thats 6b, E1 5b, E2 and E4 6a.  :whistle:

probably 6b
