Doylo I have it on authority from the guy nx to me that it's no harder

What does Page boy know? Ok the direct version goes without the arete but i don't know why they need eliminates in Ticino?? Ty did it with a savage sequence but it was most definitely duff...

[mrjonathanr]

Anyone know what the first prob is - I know where it is (next to Absurdomanie at l'elephant) but bleau.info isn't recognizing the name. (second one is 8B btw, pisses it doesn't he?)

I don't know. I do know however right at the end he says 'It's cold on the fingers' and his mate says 'First go - that's cool' !!!

You need to get rid of the "s" in https://etc

Nice fall at the end Neil!

8b/8b+ for Dave McLeod, currently in Switzerland...

Don't understand how the 'direct' is a different problem to the original and that gets 8a+?

I hate to be pedantic but he starts 2 moves in. The moves he misses out aren't entirely trivial either..........contraversial

[Jaspersharpe]

Nice fall at the end Neil! 

Ouch!

[SA Chris]

Admit it, you love it really.

[Fiend]

Not 2 moves in, just different handholds:

--- ss, reach off the crimps to the big slopey shelf thing.

--- ss, reach off a different crimp and gaston to the big slopey shelf thing.

I doubt he's lanked passed the start so why would you ignore a natural starting position you can reach in favour of an unnatural eliminate??

Not only that.....the so-called FA of this problem used the arete above the bulge....but Dave doesn't 

[neil h]

Nice fall at the end Neil! 

Ouch!

i was actaullt sick after that, spend a good ten minutes throwing up I have never landed that hard, my good friend then told me I am too big to fall (bastard)

I take it you've never climbed in Swiss before?

You didn't watch all 2 minutes of the video did you?

[Fiend]

Nope I didn't! Was only interested* in comparing starting positions. Scratch that comment then


* I use that term very loosely indeed

  Nice.

Too big to fall? So you're like the climbing equivalent of RBS.

I love to be pedantic...............here a vid of shaggy doing it. This is where i started also. i think ty started it here too.........also thank you for rising above calling me out on my spelling of controversial

[Jaspersharpe]

Brilliant looking problem btw.
