Ascents as boulder by Graham Dowden having Distinct route

Far from rex anything - just further proof that boulderers can't climb slab!

Straightforward slab, none of these are harder than 17-18.

Difficulty contrived in getting off the ground. Rest peasy.

Interest in going up, traverse easy.

A few interesting non-slab moves

Lots of lichen on this boulder and not the best topouts

Well at least it works the fingers

Static

Musings on the grade: boulderers rarely climb crack and probably can't layback so this would appear relatively hard. 70s trad would be 18 at most, making it in the very low Vs. The actual layback & bridging is pretty straight forward, so V2 is probably about right. Wouldn't want to be trying to shove stoppers in it on the onsight, though!

Decided the bad drop-off, sliding grit and slanting closed-out crack did not warrant the tick. Prudence reigns.
