Owen Hayward enjoyed perfect conditions up at the Sheep Pen Boulders at the weekend and after completing a big circuit of the classics managed to bag a new line for himself.

Shrek 7A+/B starts sitting near the left end of the Rumplestiltskin traverse under the bulge. Pull on with a good finger edge on the lip for your left and a choice of poor holds for the right. Campus to the obvious side pull then make hard moves up and right to the finger edges on Rumplestiltskin then finish up this.

“I did it right at the end of a long session. I’m not sure of the grade as I was pretty tired, but somewhere around 7A+/B mark I think. Will have to go back to check grade when fresh (probably 6A!). Rock and moves are great.”

Said Owen.

NB. Owen returned on a day when he was less fatigued and repeated the problem, only to find that it is more like 7A. Still good though.
