hard, quinessential, and a novelty! not as good as everyone says, but still good fun

Oh so desperately close. Go the mantles!!

1st go this year

used to try this every time I went there. Finally got it just before I left NZ. Apparently is only a v6 because someone way back when decided that no mantle problem could possibly be harder than v6. course that's been disproven since, but the grade sticks.

Didn't try to work this out in any intelligent way. Just chucked my left heel up a few times and tried to press it out and ended up back on the pads every time

brilliant mantle - very unique

technical sidepulling and smearing

tough bridging, crimping, smearing and laybacking up classy line

seemed tougher than the v1 the book gave it - but I think V3 would suffice

pretty tricky up top

grab the shitty slope and campus

sweet move, nice top out

worth the 3 stars

Sick!

It took me about four goes to get the left foot established on polished feet, but then I proceed straight up to the mantle. The top-out is tricky and after floundering around up there I had to reverse down a couple of steps and use the mono pocket as right foot and largest pocket as a very high left foot in order to top out.

Great jams, it's either soft or just the perfect size for me.

k.o.

smear up blank groove

five tries!!! I was knackered!!!

nice slab
