Groundhog video

Seriously good effort on the site dude. Made my first trip to the place on saturday just using a few printoffs from the site and it exceeded my expectations! Suprised noone was about as conditions were really not that bad! Did a few ace problems but was totally stumped by groundhog trying to go from a very small right hand crimp to the obvious top hold! Seemed a huge move and very hard for V6 but maybe I'm missing something! 6  out of 6 found this valuable. Do you?

Been a while since I did this, but my way was something like - Get long straight crimp for left and big sidepully thing for right. Smear left foot on left of arete, get right heel on obvious thing out right. Then a big move to lever/throw left to good edge up and left (on left side of arete). Sort feet out and match sloper to finish. Watch out for the big rock behind you - safer with a spotter!

The corner crack to the right is also good fun if it's dry. Match the same sloper to finish. Around V5 maybe.

R-Man speaks wisdom. The crimp out left is the key- it's in the crack. I find it a bit of a snatch to the crimp, but I'm sure there's an easier method than mine!!
Glad you like the site. Apologies for the recent lack of updates!! 4  out of 4 found this valuable. Do you?
