<p>There is some debate over this problem. <a href="/climber/227/aidan-roberts">Aidan Roberts</a> first ascent used a brutal shoulder move and crimp in the roof. <a href="/climber/132/will-bosi">Will Bosi</a> using a wobbly block in the roof, he also broke 3 feet in the lower section of the problem. Both gave the problem 8C. </p> <p>In early 2025 <a href="/climber/2134/harry-constantine">Harry Constantine</a> made a shock ascent, using different beta throughout and a wider foot for the first move. Aidan did use this foot in his ascent meaning a break is unlikely, although not implausible. <a href="/climber/306/eli-cartwright">Eli Cartwright</a> then made the 4th ascent with a variation of Harry's beta, and proposed 8A+. Following Elis ascent, Harry agreed a grade around 8B would be appropriate, however wasn't very firm on his suggestion. </p> <p>It seems the date of specific foot breaks are unknown. </p> <p>After this in mid 2025, a bloc in the roof which previous ascensionists had noted was insecure broke, as well as the left hand starting hold breaking off, making the problem significantly easier again.
