Just a few shots to show the new undercut sequence on the Nige Callender’s popular new problem, The Pit and the Pendulum in the Milestone Buttress boulders. Jon and Hock reckoned 7b ish for this method. Nige’s original sequence using the evil 2 finger sidepull (just left of the undercut) remains unrepeated, and is no doubt considerably harder.

Also, a shot of the V6/7a (ish) slopey sitter on the adjacent boulder. This is not mentioned in the guide, although it was probably first done many moons ago. It does provide a funky and finger friendly alternative to the crimpy problems on the main Pit boulder. Pull on with fat sidepull (R hand), left hand on poor sloper, udge up to better sloper, then go again to strange sloping pinch. Make a powerful crossover to a jug, then top out past the flake above.
