Hi all,

There seems to be some confusion of the 7a grade in the Peak Bouldering Guide to this problem. Could anyone kindly explain in a level of detail the holds to be used and those eliminated (both upper and lower section above and below the break) for the 7a grade put up by Andy Banks..? 

Thank you

I didn't realise it was an eliminate. I just thought it was a misgraded 6b+.

There is a thread here but still a little unclear

''Bigger prize was given 7a as it originally didn't use any of those holds above the break. It went from an undercut to little slopers over the bulge to the left of those used in the video. Why the grade didn't change when people started using the right hand holds I don't know.''
