A low left start to Bernie the Bolt. Start left in a large undercut, right on a good edge just below, climb slightly right and up joining Bernie the Bolt and finishing as for that problem. Visually climbs fairly directly through the shallow groove beneath and slightly right of the large flake at which Bernie the Bolt and Three More Reps converge.

βeta: Fairly confident this hasn't been done before but happy to be corrected. It's certainly not documented anywhere and I've asked around extensively. Gradewise it's hard to say; it took me 11 sessions overall and I spent 3 months over summer training for it specifically, and it certainly adds a good deal to Bernie the Bolt with the crux being right at the top. But ultimately the grade will likely depend on how you find Bernie, which seems to fit people very differently. Thinking of similar things in Yorkshire it felt harder for me than The Lash at Birk Gill; easier crux but much more sustained and consistent difficulty. It's fantastic, sustained climbing anyway. I've loved the whole process. | βeta? | |
