Cracking climb up the arĂȘte, topping out directly over the nose. Harder with a sitting start.

    I see. I’ll change the grade that I added to V2, then. I’m also going to add something to Bouldr so that the grade of a problem can be voted on so that poor grading can be corrected by our members.

    Yeah, another confusing grade from Peak Boulderinbg guide. From what I can see it normally states a sitting start in the guide if the grade includes one, and it definitely doesn’t say anything about a sitting start on this, and grades it at V0+/V1.

    Given how much more difficult this is even with a standing start than the 4’s/VO’s on the Brick next to it this would make sense – although as I can do it ( just ! ) and I am rubbish I think V3 is probably a bit high ;)

    HOWEVER, almost everyone I’ve seen do it does it from a sitting start on the obvious holds at the bottom so who knows – I would imagine it’s around V2/V3 with the sitting start …

    I didn’t actually, but I imagine that that is where it should really go from!

    Did you do this one from the sit start ?
