The BP Editor on Dread Left V6/7
A very cool problem. As Rob mentions in the post. The grade maybe closer to V6, as I reflect on Acid Wash right I did a week ago from the stand and sit. I do believe Acid Wash right from the stand is a bit more technical and powerful, so V6/6+ is probably right. All […]

Koge Sit V7 (above) Jill did well on what seemed to be reachy moves to an undercling; she now has to work out that long reach to the lip! Having removed the two video clips, I replaced it with this FA piece we edited (we had better footage of Jon, but … messed up the […]

yet another Koge cousin… the traverse and Shark Jump
