Probably done before, but can't find anything on it!

"RG" grafitti wall. Stand start to the left of RG. Traverese right and down, big span across RG on horibble undercut right hand crimp. Nasty polished foot swap then both hands into the corner. Then climb the corner for about 3m.

.. Nasty polished foot swap..

do you think this might indicate it's been done before?

I think it was one of Brunel's projects.

Weirdly, given the amount of time I've spent at Seawalls, I can't remember the 'RG'. Is it on 5b Wall, between Floating Voter and Jasper?

Also, do you mind if I don't put you in as the first ascent on the UKC forums? (I'm the moderator). I'm pretty sure this has been done before.

Yep - this is the low traverse under "5b" wall.

No idea who was the FA, or when, but i'd guess it'd be pre-1990 as it was polished when i first did it in 1999.

It was polished in the 70s

Yeah, the RG is at the bottom of Jasper.
Starts on 5b wall and traverses right into Jasper.

Not a problem. Knew I wouldn't be the FA anyway!
