Brane World & Shuck's Video

Written by LakesBloc Tuesday, 22 May 2007 00:00

Greg Chapman has made some further additions to the newly developed Shuck's Liar at Fairy Steps. The crack in the center of the buttress has been cleaned up and climbed to give Brane World, a meaty 7c+/V10 climbed from sitting and started from a matched position on a side-cut hold in the roof. A dead branch has been removed from the tree on the right side of the crag allowing an extended start in to Alkaline Jazz. This short extension starts from an uneven edge (LH) and a slot (RH) and bumps the grade up from 7a+/V7 to 7b/V8. On the left side of the crag a funky (obvious) eliminate was included, Doodah Day 6b/V4: from a pointy flat hold climb the bulge and crack direct to a decent if slightly mucky hold without the use of any of the holds on problem 1.
