Green Traverse!

Back around.

It's a separate problem with heels. Robins reach.

Silk sit, can right heel on marks, zaffs stuff at burb north, western eyes? I may have been wrong. Still though reckon more left heels in all....

[a dense loner]

Name and shame these left heels man! Memories going can't think of any at mo

[dave]

I don't think there's more left than right heelhooks, but there are a hell of a lot of left heels on classics and well known traverses, especially in the 7b-7b range.

A few obvious left heels are gorilla warfare, terrace, blind date, captain hook, bens reverse, zippys traverse, velvet krab, western eyes, that slopey traverse on the freestanding block near hampers hang (mistaken identity?), trackside, stanage bad landing traverse, purple haze, marks roof LH etc etc

I knew someone would bite.

This hook has mileage.

For the record, don't think I have ever done it with a heel. Would probably make it two grades harder for me.

I agree, there are a loads. Bit odd though that you've listed a few problems where heels make little difference.

* I assume you mean that 6C thing that Airlie Anderson once did an extension to.

Sorry typed blind date but was thinking brad pit.

Gorilla warfare I stand by. Easiest way by far is with correct use of left heel, and by weight of numbers seems to be the normal sequence.

[r-man]

Fair enough. I tend to think of heel-dependent problems as ones where heels can't be avoided, rather than those with heel beta which some people find easier. I only heel hook if I can't avoid it as most shoes peel off my feet when I heel hook.

God i can't believe i couldn't think of a single left heel. Top tip; don't get older

[Johnny Brown]

I can't think of a single problem where heels can't be avoided. This is a very silly thread. And those keep left signs are very poorly made.

Did I not say this originally?

I think most of the difficult heels are with the left (in the peak) . Obviously you can use your right Or left on most problems, bbut the ones that take real skill Brad Pitt, terrace, storm etc. Are all lefts. Anyway grit is all about heels, being tall and weak 

R-man. I've watched a few of your videos and it seems that your legs are the last thing in contact with the rock, so your opinion is invalid

does it feel like your head is running out of space to store stuff?

[tomtom]

Nothing a few laps of Waitrose wouldn't cure.

Not just 2016!

Sounds like it needs a poll...

[masonwoods101]

If you had to lose a heel which one?

[lagerstarfish]

I'd choose one of Jaspers

[tomtom]

we could stack all the lost heels up by the Plantation car park in a killing fields stylee

They wouldnt look as good as skulls though would they - it'd just be a fetid mess of bits of bone and gristle.. with the odd steel plate here and there..

[SA Chris]

Impressive. A page of discussion and nobody has said healhook.

A field of useless right HEALS
