Nipped over to Curbar last Thursday and took a little trip to see Ben's Wall in person - it's friggin' massive!

Has anyone here sent this problem?

[Jim]

loads have done it. Why?

[GCW]

Does everyone top out, or is dropping off from the pocket considered satisfactory?  (I suspect I already know the answer to this )

[dave]

i think you're supposed to slink off up/left to the arete, i don't think the true top finish has been done. though the arete is often very damp/mucky looking.

[Andy B]

Yeah, like dave says, from the pockets up left to the shoulder on the arete then a bit of scary teetering on lichenous rock.

[Bouldr Matt]

I had a couple of goes, but (like GCW) was wondering if the finish was out to the left, or that dropping off was acceptable.

Dave, Is a direct finish even possible? Looks horrendous!

[Paul B]

I'm sure its possible, it just hasn't been done.

This probably doesn't need spelling out but dropping off isn't ok.

Quite right, it's not West Side Story.   

[mini]

Does Ben Moon not top it out on Hard Grit, or is that what you guys are describing as 'slinking out left'?

[Darren S]

If I remember you sneak out left, but it was a long time ago that i did it and my memory is not what it used to be.

[GCW]

Yeah the way Moony does it in Hard Grit is the accepted method.  Is there a top out for Great White?

[Control freak]

Eh? To quote the guide "travesing off from the jug at half height, is exactly that"

[Jaspersharpe]

Oh God not again.

[lagerstarfish]

a bit of scary teetering on lichenous rock.

Doesn't sound like my idea of fun, I'll be satisfied without slinking off left to the lichenous pitch.

[BenF]

Oh God not again.

You knows it.

Sorry, I mistakenly felt the winking smiley was superfluous.

[a dense loner]

think stinky pete topped it out, said it was shitty and not likely to get done a lot, could be wrong tho

[Jim]

I heard this as well. Also think he was getting close on the direct on bens wall
