Fruehauf | |||||
V2 | ★ Big Mutha Truckers
Large boulder to the right of the sport climbs. There is a low wave wall on the north side of the boulder. Start on the right hand side of the wave on jugs, move left to big sloper, bust to jugs and top out. | 2m | |||
V3 | Big Mutha Trucker
Start very low on the far right of the boulder on big jug and low feet, bust out to the start of the V2 then finish. Fun but low. | 3m | |||
V5 | ★ Fruehauf Traverse
A good fingery traverse starts at the two finger pocket about 5m right of the start of PE and continues via pockety moves to SE. When the start of SE is reached, do the first tricky move of SE to reach the horizontal. Do about one move along the horizontal to the right from where your feet can reach the nice footholds on JJ and then get down onto the holds of JJ. There is a nice layaway pointing left and then a shallow pocket. From here continue right past A to finish at the start of PL. The traverse can also be done in reverse. Try and link up both directions if you don't feel the effects of lactic acid. Also there are extensions on either end. | ||||

V6 | ★★★ Pinchy the Owl
### Unfortunately the Owl has gone missing. ### Would be nice to find some fun replacement rock/s we could paint or keep as grip-lifting challenges. Pinch and lift the owl painted rock with one hand. Pinching from the top. Rules if you want a clean by the book send: To "send" The owl lifter must fully straighten up (back erect, legs and hips locked out); once standing straight, the lifter must maintain control of the owl for 1 second. Then lower the owl controlled way maintaining grip until the owl has returned to the ground. Set: Kim Walls & David Tan, 6 Feb 2019 FA: William Wardlaw-Kelly, 12 Mar 2019 | 1m | |||
