An old local project nabbed by Klem! Sit start with left hand on the Jaques underclings. Make a move (crux) into the left sidepull above then right hand into good undercling, then into and finish as for Chocolate. AKA the sit start to Chocolate (known as the Pinch). Given 7c/V9 by Klem but upgraded by 2nd and 3rd ascentionists.

FA: Klem Loskot

FA: 1999

Boulder 3m
V9 Hot Chocolate RHV

Was thought to be Non Intentional Lifeform by the FA and subsequent ascentionists. Starts immediately right of Hot Chocolate with left on the right hand hold and the right hand on a small undercling. Up into the undercling and sidepull of Hot Chocolate then as per that problem. Essentially an easier independant start.

FA: Jordan Grant

Boulder 3m
V6 Milk Chocolate

(Weaker than Hot Chocolate). A higher sitstart than Hot Chocolate. A decent sequence in its own right. Sit start with LH on Hot Chocolate sidepull and RH on its good undercling ie two moves into Hot Chocolate. Paste your feet on and punch out to the good LH sidepull pocket and top out right as for Chocolate (aka the Pinch). The wads will probably think this is a V5. FA Klem Loskot (from the true sit).

Boulder 3m
V10 Non-Intentional Life Form

Sit-start with right hand on small scallopy undercling (SGF low start hold) and an edgy pinch with the other. Punch up with your left to a hold on the lip then as per SGF from the undercling and then to the top. A very hard one mover. Crouch start goes about V5/6 and is worthy of your time.

FA: Sharik Walker

Boulder 3m
V8 Living or Exisiting

Alternative name for SGF. Not an independent problem. Description was as for NILF.

FA: Luke Geelen

Boulder 3m
V8 Secret Gay Fantasy

Starts under main roof on reasonable undercling (RH) and poorer undercling (LH). A very powerful 5-move problem. Pop LH to intermediate ‘breadloaf’ pinch, then big move out to the pocket on the lip (LH again) – catch the breadloaf as an intermediate (RH) – then up to jug in the Aftertaste traverse line and finish as for CHinese Nuggets. V8 as a crouchstart but take 9 points if you start seated on the lower holds.

FA: Luke Geelen

Boulder 3m
V5 Meantime

Start on underclings right of SGF. Slap left to lip and decent sidepull then through with right hand to the jug start of the Aftertaste traverse. Straight up via sidepull to the top tier. A nice little independent addition to the mid grade circuit.

Boulder
V7 Potato Aftertaste Low

Jacques the Potato into Chocolate Aftertaste Low.

Boulder 2m
V4 Chocolate

One of the original problems from 96. Start with LH on the SGF lip hold and a polished gaston jug right of it. Bust a move (LH) to the tufa pinch on Aftertaste Low traverse then hit the jug line of the upper traverse.

FA: Andy Beckworth

FA: 1996

Boulder 3m
V3 The Ballroom Slap

Stand start holding the pinch of Aftertaste Low Traverse and the finish jug of SGF. Dyno RH to a sloping jug in the top break.

FA: Steve Kelly

Boulder 3m
V1 One Five Nine

If you climb this with your feet on you get a great V1. Otherwise campus from the large bucket (LH) on the Aftertaste Traverse and slightly higher smaller jug (RH) to the high flat jug, then without matching go again RH to the top! 1-5-9 standard campus measurement.

Hold large bucket LH and smaller slightly higher jug RH. Make a footless campus move to the high flat jug.

Boulder 3m
V4 Shout

The stand start variant to Twist and Shout, starts on large underclings followed by 3 big moves, finishing on a sloper. Please be mindful of the holds you are standing on as they are the handholds for the sit start!

Boulder 2m

Boulder
V9 Sharik's Problem

Start as for Twist and Shout but head left though the obvious chalked sloper edge and undercling to the start hold of Aftertaste then up and finish on the high jug.

Sitstart – then out across the bad crimpers/slopers on the lip. RH crescent sidepull, then left into undercling right into undercling paste right foot on and go to the triangle pinch out left (in traverse line) – then straight up to the sloper (via intermediate pinch) – and match.

FA: Klem Loskot, 1999

Boulder 2m
V4 Benelli's Extension stand start

Start on sloper and RH sloper/crimp at the end of the Benelli’s traverse (just under the underclings). Left foot on lip, then up into the good underclings. Out to the sharp jug, then cross into the good finish hold of Chocolate and finish matched on the big sloper. For V5 start with feet on ledge. Please be mindful of your feet as you will be standing on the handholds of the sitstart and the holds are starting to get polished.
