Has this problem been repeated since the large flake snapped off. It is now considerably more difficult even to get off the deck. A class 7b+ has become a good grade or 2 harder.

Just a question of...to be tall or not to be, but agree with you at leat 7c now !

where? posted by fred167 ~ 20.05.2004 18:14

where was the flake? in the right hand, on the picture, at the beginning?

I've just tried it today, I took the arete over the undercling, starting is still possible. The first move is not too hard, not 7c, but I don't know how to go up of the big flake on the right...maybe harder than the beginning.

The hard bit is at the top (getting the left hand crimp and reaching up for the top). The start is still fairly easy (probably harder if you are short, but the problem goes at 7B+, my opinion...). Superb problem :)

Pour l'avoir fait reçemment (je suis court): départ pieds du sol, arrête MD, réglette basse MG, monter PG, crochet talon PD, envoyer MD bonne inversée, changer PD-PG, monter PG assez haut (niveau MG départ), écarter PD/arête/talon ou pointe, envoyer MG et attraper au vol l'inversée (mouv assez dur et physique). Aprés, c'est pareil.
