Rockfax Description
A low start to Foal's Chopper, coming in from down and right. The crouching start is acceptable. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Javu P9b, Climbers Club Dartmoor (2017) P9, Boulder Britain (2011) P2x.

Starts low (sitting or crouching), right of the blunt arete on an obvious slopey hold that's an arms reach from the ground (as for Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!), with feet on the back shelf, blast up and left through slopers and small edges (avoiding the jug above) around the arete to reach Foal's Chopper stand.

Great dynamic moves and compression adding a good deal of spice before the stand!

John Gaskins 2001.

βeta: The original sequence used by John Gaskins is lost to the annuls of time and dusty memory banks but was likely far harder and reportedly more direct than the now used method. That being said climbing in from slightly right as for the more recent Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! is still considered hard for the grade.
