Continuing his unrelenting enthusiasm for the crag, Greg Chapman has forced yet another new line at Crag X, in the South Lakes.

His new problem is located on Wolf Buttress (the first buttress encountered when approaching from the road) and starts, from sitting, on the shelf at the back of the roof on the far left. From here traverse the break rightward until a spike like hold is reached with the right hand; now move up into two apposing side-pulls. Accuracy is now the word of choice as the following moves, to a sloper and then a hidden two/three finger niched edge, are hard, powerful and calculated. If you are successful in making it this far, continue back leftward along the top lip of the buttress finishing at the base of a large yew tree - Prohibition Exhibition 7c/V9.
