Phats and Bigs

The traverse at the bottom is Phat Traverse B4. Start by the crack and go left, then up to the jug. **

The low extension to the Phat Traverse has been completed by Jimbo, it feels hard and technical, probably V8.
James - 04/Apr/00

The low extension to 'Phat Traverse' is called 'Weight Watchers' and is about V6/7. The ledge above your head is out!

New problems to the left -

Phat Slab (New Cuttings) (V3)
A tight line on the slab left of Phats and Bigs. Straight up the slab via a flat hold and 3 undercuts without using the left arête or the ledge and the good crimp above it on the left.

Jonny Sniper (New Cuttings) (V4/5)
The arête left of Phat slab on its left hand side. Nice moves from a sit start (hands on ledge) leads to some technical moves so gain the top break via a gaston on the far left of the small roof. Highball.

Percy Thrower (New Cuttings) (V4)
The wall led of Jonny Sniper and sharing some holds with JS. From a sit start gentle climbing (keeping out of the corner- crack line for left hand) leads to the gaston on JS – taken with the right hand as a side pull a distinctly cruxy move leads to a bowl in the lip above the roof. Highball.

Was a bit quick with the 'seventies' bit, usually easy gaps are there because they were 70s trad lines! Looked them up, from 89/90 since before this the crag didn't exist! Names like 'Head of Steam' and 'Loco'... after the old train I guess.

Jimbo- fair play, my guess is that as boulder problems the lines will be a bit tighter than as trad line but it's just a guess. The two problems on the left were recovered from some very thick stemmed and heavy ivy cover (+ brambles at the base)so if nothing else at least they are climbable again now.....

Cheers for the clearing of the ivy. It really only takes a year or two for it to cover the place. The whole left side was clear just a few years ago. Plenty of problems were done there but now all covered up again.
