A quick search for this thread showed it didn't exist yet and I didn't want to sully the quality vids thread so, here we are. Anyway, was just keen to share this:

cheers barros, elbows alright for bouldering and bouldery headpoints it seems. Hanging on for longer periods is more problematic - your worst nightmare?!
@ tommy; nice one, ADKOB will stay clean and dries pretty quickly, Collateral might tend to dirty up a bit more as there're a couple of narrow fluting/drainage channels down the line, still shouldn't take too long to dry though I'd have thought, 1/2 dry days?
Anyway, speak of the devil, here he is on the same day giving said seal of approval:
(footage and editting not great but hey...)
Reeve goes ground up @ Raven's Scar

And uses side runners (kind of). And essentially starts half-way up the butress :lol:Fiend said:
On the up-side, the line makes much more sense once on it - it follows the best holds to and from that obvious jug on the arete and once your foot/heel is on the jug, the merge with the top of stratagem is inevitable/natural. I take your point though, maybe it's not worth 3* - I just gave it that since the rock, moves and positions are all awesome and the overall experience felt 3* to me, certainly in the context of the Moors.
Anyway, the other guys who've climbed it seemed to agree in terms of quality and they're in a better position than me to judge I reckon. 'The best sequence I've done on a route' was the quote of choice I think but Reeve might just have been a little over excited!?
A bit more north york moors headpointing. 'Solitary tri-pod from afar' school of cinematography:
Round Headpointing
Round Headpointing
Can't see it from the angle of the video but the landing slopes off quite steeply. I reckoned a tied in belayer would be worth having so you'd only bounce down the slope so far if you fell. He's not quite as redundant as he looks, for the first 2/3 of the route anyway. Bit of a shame this pinnacle/block isn't just on flat ground in some ways, then all the routes would just be great highballs....

Not entirely sure where to put this, as its not really bouldering and its not really chuffing. Though theres a bit more actual chuffing than bouldering so here'll have to do.
