As reported on the North Wales Bouldering website, Pete Robins has made the first ascent of a new sit-start now called Madame Allure (8B).

This adds a few moves on to existing problem Danny LaRue, a which was first climbed in 2010 by Mike Adams and is in the Ogwen valley, North Wales.

This new problem comes not long after Pete's first ascents of several other Ogwen boulder problems including the awesome looking Snapdragon (8A).

Have to agreed its a bit disrespectful to over-dub the name of the original problem. All that work cleaning/developing a problem just for someone to add a move and stamp their name over yours makes all that hardwork pointless. (well, not entirely but you know what i'm trying to say.) Either name it Danny LaRue SS, or list it as a new problem alongside the existing ones on that crag.
