Si Panton has put together a very fine roof link on the Cromlech Boulders. Rock for Light V8/7b starts sitting as for Problem 42 in the juggy alcove left of the normal finish to the Cromlech Roof Crack.

Panton described the line thus: “Make a move up from the sitter, then follow the line of holds leading right, dipping under the roof and continuing with a powerful cross through sequence along the sloping slots at the end of the crack system on CRC. Reverse CRC back to its start, then break through the right side of the roof, avoiding the block on the right, to finish straight up the wall.”

before adding, “This is one of the best roof problems I’ve ever done, totally relentless and pumpy as hell, but it just climbs so well. It’s possible to blow it right up to the very last move, as I found out on one occasion.”

The final roof exit section was first climbed from a hanging position at the start of CRC in 2005 by Dave Noden and Adam Hocking.
