The seemingly unstoppable Nige Callender has grabbed another over ripe project in the Ogwen Valley. In Your Honour V8/7bish climbs the obviously classic thin crack line on a wall/boulder approximately 50 metres beyond and slightly to the right of the Bogside Boulder.

Nige climbed it from a standing start, pulling on with: “…a crimp for the right and a side pull in the crack for the left; both at about eye level.”

“It's probably comparable in quality to Wavelength, proper classic. Unfortunately I think it'll share the same fate, the crucial foothold was starting to get a coating of rubber even from me and whoever else was trying it recently.” commented Nige.

The problem is actually quite highball, so Nige abbed the line first and cleaned the upper holds.

The sitting start remains an obvious challenge.

(NB There is an alternative sequence for Wavelength, which avoids the slippy fatherless foothold mentioned above.)
