Moved on to Alpha - which presented a fresh set of challenges. Managed the first moves to the shelf fairly quickly (LH up to crimp below shelf from the sit - work feet up - bump LH over the top onto the jug) - then got acquainted with the pockets. FUCK ME they're sharp - well they feel OK, but then when your full weight comes onto them... So - worked the next couple of moves then powered out - and decided I could only have so many attempts before the pain got too much and bailed.
Black Wall Eliminate, The Ashes, Tremelo and a flash of Space Race ! What a week - well done Spidermonkey.

Keen for Chee Tor though, loads of trad routes I've not done.
Toby & Ian - if you haven't done Boobs at Chee Tor I'd highly recommend that. Much less cruxy than the Ogre (which I couldn't do), and on brilliant rock. It's certainly right up your street Toby.
Cheers Andy, I'd missed the wide pinch. So you don't use the big obvious undercut above the first good crimp, is that too far left to bother with?That means it's effectively six hand moves, between the two undercuts, feels so much longer.
