Running With The Bulls 23 30m

This climb is very exigent for arm power and low adherence style. Start just right of Power Play climbing up the reddest part of the Orange Wall. It can be done in 3 minutes and 10 seconds. Steep climbing with reaches and layoffs to rest at the corner of the roof. Delicate moves with deft footwork and crimps up past the left of the roof to be greeted by a sequence of necessarily large holds all the way up the finishing wall. Finish one metre left of the DBB before clipping Neil’s DBB. M Rosser 14 July 07

2PB and 6BR to DBB

The line to the right is Neil’s project

Yeah 23 seems about right. I wouldn’t have argued with 24 either, but I think 23 is right.

Hmm, maybe im soft. Perhaps i could blame it on the winter coat, my age or the water seeping from holds, but it felt like 24 to me….

Haven’t made the redpoint as yet and will take some working for me to do – 24 is my view. Sustained

Having done this climb again and having thrown variuos people on it I think 24 is fair for sure.

forget hang ten folks, if you want to earn your 24 stripes, this is the climb to do…

ha ha i tried this today because powerplay was wet as usual this time of year.

HOLY SHIT what an awesome climb, i friggin loved it. ummm not sure what you guys published the grade at but hmm yes sustained… 24. big holds, 23 moves… its just that there are a whole bunch of 23 moves.

Like the bit below the roof where u whack ur toe up high and right into a pocket… zing!
And so fun to revive a six year old thread!! hope no one else is like me and never tried this route before
