Just got a text from my brother informing me that I'm going to Kilnsey this evening to do Smooth Torquer and Comedy.
Anyone got any advice for these routes?

Cheers.

Smooth talker is bouldery start followed by some big moves off big jugs, finishing with a knarly finish. If you have a long clipstick you can put all the draws in to save weight. If you are going for the flash take a good look at the holds from all angles so you have a good idea which are good and which parts etc.

Not done comedy but its a lot steeper especially at the start. Make sure you have worked the finishing slab as i know several people who had only worked the "tough" bit and messed up on the "easy" slab after finally getting through the tough bits.

Cookie?

In reply to tbertenshaw: Thanks Tim. I might go for the flash but given that I'm not much of a sport climber might just do it bolt to bolt to start off with.

In reply to Adam Lincoln: LOL

couldn't possibly comment....

In reply to Adam Lincoln:

Yep the slab's falloffable! Make sure you wire it.

Both routes are pretty similar in that they involve big throws between decent holds. If in doubt just lay it on.

In reply to Chazz: Smooth Torquer is quite easy, a few sharp pulls into big jugs to a tricky finish, (get a high foot, that might help). Never been on comedy but I saw aforementioned cookie fall

In reply to Chazz: I managed to bolt to bolt smooth torquer, the start was quite easy but I was just so pumped afterwards. Suppose thats what I get for only ever piddling around on boulders!

You can say it's easy when you've done it youth
