Like Dave, I think I could maybe pull-on using the first sidepull and crimp, not easily though. I'm pretty sure Jerry has a bigger span than me.
What a load of crap.
People with unusual physiques have to accept that guidebook grades only offer a hint at how hard a problem might be, and if you are very tall or short the accuracy will decrease for you.
I think the # idea is fair enough, but I'm not sure it conveys all that much more information than just stating that a problem is morpho or harder for the short.
Excessive use of symbols (are you going to use ! too?) might make the guidebook start to look like an OS map though...
Went to wharncliffe today for my first day out since dislocating my shoulder. Nice little circuit there, got hailed off after a few hours but was fun none the less. Anyway Andy B (-2" ape index) managed 2nd ascent of kim span and i sneaked in for the 3rd. Really not that lanky at all, we both thought 7a is appropriate. Very good problem as well! Lots of fun.
Anyone do Sneaky Little Fingers, by the way?
which hold has broken? when? I was under the impression that the lowest of the low bits of rock was out of bounds anyway
