Gene Flow (7B+) a New Fisherground Addition

Hiding in plain sight at Eskdale’s Fisherground Circuit, I noticed (and climbed) a funky little problem on the Strong Arete Boulder, which as far as I’m aware has not been done before.

Gene Flow (7B+) climbs the line right of Strong ArĂȘte from a sit/squat start (depending on reach and stacked pads) on an awesome LH sloper and RH undercut. Pull on with difficulty and launch up for the lip, then finish up the right side of the arĂȘte.

A low sitter, linking in from Strong Arete Low, may be possible but cooler conditions would be required.
