Just wondering how bloodsucker on the bowderstone went. Did it as bloodsucker mono to big hold and then finished up power pinch. Didnt use first pinch on power pinch but used the second gaston hold. 7b?

Power Pinch climbed with the hideous pocket rather than the
“power pinch” is Bloodsucker, a historical eliminate graded 7b+/c.

It's the harder version of Power Pinch with the pocket rather than the pinchy side-pull. It's also pap.

Incidentally, bit of a big-up for Hock's direct finish to Picnic Sarcastic (7b+), finally got round to trying/doing this the other day. It's top draw, with a bit of spice thrown in to boot.
