Nick White:

Dartmoor granite was dragged screaming into the 20th century by the rejuvenated Pete Bulls ascent of Toltec Twostep E5 6c, (say dude, where you get the injectables from man.) This direct version of Suspension Flake at Hound Tor lays to rest the last of the Last Great problems of the moor, however the grade awaits confirmation as nobody is prepared to mess with the blistering fist and knee jams that start its crux sequence, yummy!
