Tilberthwaite Groove Project Falls

That prolific get-about Jordan Buys has claimed the much sought after first ascent of the mighty groove project at the Lad Stones, Tilberthwaite.

The new line requires much resolve and is not only "flexibility dependant" but also involves "some spotter scaring moves rightwards" before the final highball top-out.

Jordan cleaned the line on an ab-rope, but climbed this behemoth of a boulder problem ground up. After taming the monster Jordan has named it Groove Armada (for obvious reasons one assumes?), and offered highball 7c+/V10 as an estimated grade.
