Rob Lamey on Twist-it to fit V6/7a photo Lamey collection


photo: Lamey collection

Rob Lamey has climbed a new sitting start problem in the Milestone Buttress boulders. Twist-it to fit V6/7a can be found (and now that it’s been done perhaps you recall seeing it?) right by the fence running in from the roadside wall at the far end of the layby beneath Ding Dong's Wall.

“Start with your hands as low in the crack as possible,” commented Rob, adding that it, “has an awesome move when you reach the lip; you spin round and throw your heel on to mantel.”

There are a few other bits and bobs on these roadside blocks. George Smith has done an amusing mini top rope problem on the obvious hanging block – the rope is threaded under and over the back of the boulder; there is so much friction a belay device is not required!
