Chris Davies showing the campus method on Einstein V8+/Font 7b+, photos: Si Panton


Mat Perrier going for the foot hooks…


…and reaching blindly for the slopey lip.

Despite having partied like the end of the world was nigh on the first night of the North Wales Bouldering Meet, Chris Davies, managed to shake off the remnants of his hangover the following day and nail a brand new line on the roof block just below Marilyn Monroe in the Milestone Buttress Boulders. Einstein V8+/Font 7b+ starts hanging on the obvious 2 finger pocket and good edge. A fierce campus move snags a sloper, the lip follows shortly after, and a chest-grinding mantel gains the summit.

Quick repeats came from Greg Chapman, Neil Kershaw and Mat Perrier, the latter adopting a rather wild upside down foothook technique.
