Have tried this off and on over a few visits and finally got the knacky, technical start figured out. It feels harder than The Cestrian to me, which Footwork reckons is correct at 7A+ but I think it could just be finding the right beta.

On the Prune Boulder, climb the wall just left of the huge overhanging prow, linking pockets with difficulty. Make urgent moves left along the top break to an emergency exit up Make My Heart Fly.

Nice, worthwhile highballing  :2thumbsup:

The multimedia splurge is here:










And a video of a failed attempt (not getting the knack right, the move is static)

I dont know about everyone else, but to me some of those pictures look pretty heavily edited... Im not convinced, I could have sworn I saw the same picture with a static rope on it. I don't believe footwork is real and you just made his profile and blog to get your so called "first ascents"  on to UKB.   :worms:

I want video evidence of footwork too.

This photo is fake. I have never knowingly climbed in Lancashire.
