Flake Crack >>
[Bouldering - Hanging Flake, 2 kb]One of the best lines on the Moor is a stunning problem which is in all locals' top 10. Layback up the rounded left side of the arete to gain the first flake; get established on this and stretch up to the distant flake above. OK for the grade but high!

Ticklists: Cuckoo Rock and Combeshead Tor (beginner).

Although foot slipped at the top and grabbed the crack, so probably didn’t get it, but I think I may have done the difficult bit.

First did this in 1987 before anyone else I knew - first ascent? Repeated it 2010 in trad style - no mat. Soft V3 if you are tall.
