Looks cool. An awesome bit of rock that, especially when its catching the sun.

Not entirely sure, anyone know if the seam they mean is the one Jim has his feet just by in this photo: http://www.ukclimbing.com/images/dbpage.php?id=65833 ?

Get a rack and stretch yourself. Either that, or just learn to fly further, or do hideous mantleshelves.........

In reply to AJM: Well done Dave; going really well at the moment with this and your recent Pembroke successes.

However, i thought that the true line on this wall was the "non-line" of weakness directly up the wall, the line that is mentioned in the Edwards's Cornwall guidebbok? I've abbed down it, and there's holds, but the acces method via the steep wall beneath (disecting Daves new line) looks hideously hard. Any takers?

In reply to AJM: "Teahupo’o is the name of an infamous reef-break off the south eastern coast of Tahiti in French Polynesia, and is widely recognized as having some of the heaviest waves in the world. It was here on August 17th, 2000, that the visionary big-wave surfer Laird Hamilton is credited with surfing the heaviest wave ever ridden (as documented in Riding Giants)"

I think the "is" in the last sentence should be changed to "was". Like in climbing, surfing has moved on a lot in 7 years.
