Fark this was hard

Nothing like an exposed, proud highball on slick granite to get you going.

OooWee this is so good. Felt great on this today and got it second go with Benji's new beta. A solid pad base helps the psych and you can't underestimate the barn door potential to send you past and above the pads on this one.

Perfect setup with 6 pads. Had a couple goes and fairly consistently getting to the same high point as before. Ben sent it which ramped up the stoke, I taped up my right ring finger which I think helped. Just managed to keep bumping my left hand as far as possible, got the right toe pulling hard and then just desperately jabbed it up and to my complete surprise stuck it. Woot! I am so super stoked with this send and this route is totally ace

Got very close on first attempt. had high feet and hands and simply had to throw for the lip but couldn't take my eyes off my feet for fear of blowing...and then I did a big barn door and fell from the top on to no pads! Totally ninjared it though and didn't even break my ankles. stoked. Had a few more goes with pads better placed but I think my nerves were shot. Benji nailed it and found a key footer which takes away the dodgy barn door. Well done sir.

Aarrh this thing is so good! Got onto the top arete a few times and it just teases you and demands millimetre precision and balance. After about the 3 'one more time' Benji sent it in perfect style and history has been made. We built up a much better log base this time, with 5 pads

Pretty close. Pretty scary. Pretty good so far.

This thing is sick! Didn't really seem possible at first but it will go. You can't have too many pads, 5 was ok but I think 8 would be ideal as you aren't quite sure in which direction you'll ping off
