Dave Sutcliffe has made the first ascent of a new boulder problem on Wolfrey Wall at Great Wolfrey. Dave reckons Path Of Intrigue was one of Yorkshire's finest unclimbed lines - graded as either a highball 7C+ above pads or E6 7a with gear.
Great stuff, very tenacious Dave, well done. It looks very technical and "sequencey". Never been to Great Wolfrey it looks really good. I like the comment in the guidebook "Many of the routes are bold to start, which leads to a feeling of commitment, so think about how you will get back to the car before throwing caution to the wind." !!!
Wow! Looks fantastic, well done! What about a finish straight up the middle of the wall or the rh arete? Or even a direct start? Done already or impossible?
