[Nigel on gorilla warfare, 2 kb]From the good flake right of the off-width crack, powerful moves on good slopers and crimps leads to a top out on hidden good crimps over the lip above the block. Brilliant.

Brilliant thuggy problem, loved it. Conditions weren't great as it was muggy and the rock was still drying, which made the sloper feel pretty insecure but I got it fourth attempt which is pretty good for me.

Got to the final sloper second go, got to get it together and ignore the big block to finish it.
