Saved this video to watch with my dinner :) I’m now looking forward to trying this for myself when on my travels around the uk in my van, always a pleasure to watch you guys. Never stop

[@TheClimbingNomads]

Aw thank you! Glad it’s got you psyched for some limestone 👊 Enjoy your van tour 😄

[@schonni8390]

Congrats on the send!! I also get that sometimes, that I'm worried I did it wrong when it felt easy. But grades are always subjective, maybe this was your style and that might have made it easier for you. Also loved the camera angles!

[@TheClimbingNomads]

Thank you! Yep, often find grades a bit hit and miss as I’m definitely ‘below average’ in height 😆

When I did the high version I traversed into red at the top so that I did the same finish as red...if that makes sense. I was very much like you though and had no idea which was middle/high....good effort either way

[@TheClimbingNomads]

Thanks! Yep, bit of confusion in where to merge with Red 😆 glad I’m not the only one unsure of the middle/high versions!

had to get the book out for this one, looks like a belter for the smaller climber. Did you try any of the easier stuff? I am constantly on the look out for decent places for the smaller climber (for my son hes 4ft 2) although the grades do make me worry it might be a wasted trip.

Had a play on the 6s to the left, they were ok. There were a few 6s and 7s the other side of the road, had worked all the moves to one of the 7s before popping a finger! Fierce and fingery but not reachy :)

@@TheClimbingNomads Oh dear hope the finger heals quickly! Thanks for the info very much appreciated :)

@@TheClimbingNomads I remember asking these questions, cool now as my son has done it (he's 4ft 7" now ) super problem. He's been working Weedkiller Traverse recently, which I notice Brett has done, did you try it Sophie?

[@TheClimbingNomads]

@GrantTyrer79 cool, yes done weed killer, here’s a link to the video for some beta :) Weedkiller 7B - Raven Tor Bouldering kzbin.info/www/bejne/enPIqJV9Z9NmmqM
