Woodwell O'ert Road Onslaught Continues

Written by LakesBloc Sunday, 17 August 2003 00:00

An afternoons entertaining sport at Woodwell O`ert Road brought a few new additions to this already superb and established venue. On Cave Buttress Greg Chapman started as for John Gaskins's new line Hybrid Moments but instead of reversing Angel Deelite, as for the original problem, he continued through The Cricco Castelli Finish to give smart little 7b/V8 link, this was quickly repeated by Neil Kershaw.

30m right of The Cave Buttress is a higher section of rock, which after some cleaning presented two good new problems: 7a/V6 - The right side of buttress is taken from sitting into a weird mantle move and through to the steep wall above, finish at the break. F.A. Neil Kershaw. 6b/V4 - Starting sitting at the left side of the buttress traverse an obvious crack rightwards to a good hold, now climb direct through the slight prow on sharp holds and finish at the break. F.A. Greg Chapman

Another small nugget of info: Greg climbed the proper sit start to Super Star DJ Tinpot Todd (from the back of the roof) improving the line and increasing the difficulty slightly.
