Bovine original went leftward along the crimps to the same finish as ovine i suspect becase the slot was wet. When its dry just go strait up to the big jug above.
 
I'd be keen to see a vid of the roof problems. I went to have a look and couldnt find anything, or rather I did see a rather small overhang but thought 'surely it cant be that, they said it was really good' :shrug: be keen to see anyway so I know what's what
 
Ta. I was on holds independent of Ovine, just proper ratty matching the last ones. Will have another crack next week, maybe with the slots if a bit drier.

Anyone done Mint Sauce, looks class.
 
The highball groove. I think that's what it's called anyway. Looked cleaner than normal. And by 'normal' I mean since the last time I went to Griff's, 6 or 7 years ago.

I did Mint Sauce last week some time. Managed to clean it a little off a ladder but could only just reach to clean the sloper at the base of the groove and when I got there from the ground I felt too tired to try to go straight into the groove so slapped R to a big flakey hold and jug. Didn't go back up and try the more direct finish - I was pretty happy with what I had done and it felt 7c, although finishing straight up may well be harder?? It is good Cofe, you should go try it. I thought it was really good.

Did you feel the flake hold that Mint starts on? Keen to finish off Ru's trav and this was pretty wet last time (didn't really matter for MS as you only hold it for a sec)
 
Ta Ben. I think I felt the hold you mention, and I think it was dry. I think. Starting left crimp hoist on Ovine Low Left was wet/damp.

Is he leaning off a massive toe-hook in the gully or what? Might explain the 'lowly' grade...

Had a look while out bilberry picking the other week. He's heelhooking/heel-toeing the slightly blunt low arête. Totally logical. The gully/back of the block is miles away, unless he's packing a massive right leg. Really massive. Looks nails.
