Yesterday Danny Cattell climbed an old Marine Drive project which has been toyed with by a number of people over the years. Where’s My Dildo? 7C+ is the obvious sds line to the left of Where’s My Hippo.
Start sitting with parallel sidepulls (LH as a back hand), move up to the obvious crimp with your left and then make a tough pull with your right up to a little crimp. Continue with a reach up left before moving right to finish up Where’s My Hippo. The crack to the left is (obviously) out of bounds.
”It’s a bit of a locals problem but I think it’s pretty cool. It has an obvious start and an ace finish, but mainly it’s just a no messing hard crimp move.”
Said Danny after the ascent.
Chris Doyle managed to capture the first ascent on film:
