			Thread started: Oct 25 2011, 9:34 AM EDT Watch 1.senail dimention. 7a+/7b 25m. Start as for 'Nursery Crimes' until you reach the flat ledge at the 3rd bolt. Then follow the obvious horizontal break rightwards finishing up 'Prize for Arms'. Alternative starts can be made at 'Flatliners' or 'Wipeout' at which a hands off rest can be made before embarking on the traverse. Starting at 'Nursery Crimes' provides a more sustained arm bursting experience. 2.who 8 my breos? F6c. 20m. A more ameanable proposition finishing up 'Going Through The Motions'. No real hard moves just great sustained climbing. Same alternative starts can be made as above at the same grade. Do you find this valuable? Keyword tags: None Post reply
