Best Holds, north face


Best Holds, north face, originally uploaded by Ian Mulvany.

I've tagged up another picture. If you go to flickr you can look at the large version and the names come up nicely.

The two obvious problems are climbing the face, with and without the right arete.

With the arete it's about V2, maybe soft V2 if you know where to go, hard V2 otherwise.

Not using the arete, well, there are a host of options. The easiest is also V2 and the hardest that I've seen done to date is about font 6c, or V4-V5, at least that's what the guy's who did it said, and I'm not about to argue with em.

Nice work Ian. Just discovered that the 76 bus drops me outside the park. Awesome.

Headed down yesterday afternoon and managed to arrive just as the contractors were leaving (around 4pm). We had a play in our trainers, did Inner City Pressure and then did a few problems on the slab, basically just eliminating various bore holes. Great fun.

Keep up the good work.

Any chance of posting the various different ways up this face (excluding the arete)?
