anyone know if the undercut on bream in black has broken?

i was on bream in black last year & remember the undercut above the 2nd bolt being very unobvious. i also remember i was trying to use it with two fingers which felt desperate. eventually i realized it was a good mono (only by luck, couldn't see it was a mono) & the move went from being the desperate crux to not even the hardest move on the route.

went on it this week and it looked like a very obvious undercut & the fact it was a mono was clear from looking at it (looked like broken rock around the mono) but even using the mono the move felt even more desperate than it did when i first tried it last year.

so...... has the undercut broken or am i just a lot weaker than i'd like to believe?

Both, probably.

Got to love Peak limestone.

Yep, I've just spent 3 weeks in hospital due to hold AND thread breaking on Peak limestone. And won't be climbing again this year
