Reached the top jug

No skipping necessary

People sent this either with a toe or a heel today..

High

Did a sit start with r.h. high in pocket, felt harder than 6A otherwise

Don't think there are two distinct lines really, this is probably just a startstart to The Nose, otherwise this becomes a quite hard and contrived line imo.

2nd go

Probably harder if you're short

Lowball

Climbs better as a normal sit with r.h. on jug imho.

2nd go.

Nice precision dyno

Did a stand, the sit felt harder than 6A for me..

Start jug/rail is broken so started by the lip.

Start jug/rail is broken so started by the lip.

A little painful but good moves. Made a move to a jug far up to the left after a while.

A bit dirty, dabby and painful, but ok moves. Started with the deep jug and moved out towards the hole.

First go. For me this was the hardest of the three lines with the same start.

More natural to go straight up imho.

Moving more up to the right after the jug. Straight up felt harder than 6B+.

Hard sit start move

With a proper sitdown and not a low hang (which added quite a bit of difficulty for me). I found three more videos on youtube, all in the style of the "Vasily Chernov" video, not too hard that way. Got a little too tired when repeating it in the "Mad Boulder" video style but it didn't feel crazy hard that way either.

Quite narrow line

No dyno for me. Went to the l.h. pinch and with a right toe cam then r.h. up to that sidepull..

Without sharp jug left and holds up left.

Traverses naturally a bit more to the right imo.

An undefined stand start version I assume (?)

With a big move up from the lower holds.

For a tall person, jump isn't hard, but this can also be done statically with the vertical crack to the right.

Probably morpho

Mantled after arete

Juggy sitstart

Did it more in the style of the Terrier Céline video, and less like the muscle shirt guy in the second pic (felt more like the 8A that way). Sharp.

A bit forced to veer right..

The sit start move is probably the hardest.

Quite high

Bunched up

Climbs more naturally straight up imho.

2nd go. Sharp.

1st go, not totally sure it can be called flash though as the start is similar to Gadget..

Jug fest

I climbed this using the two vertical slots on the right side of the arete. Quite hard 7A with a proper sitdown start.

Feels morpho

Feels very morpho.

Doesn't say sit here in topo. Did both the sit and the stand. Sit is considerably harder (stand felt 6Aish for me).

With a kneepad right.

With holds to the right of arete.

Could be morpho

Says "climb face to top" here so I topped out left of the arete. No idea of that was the intended way.

2nd go

Looks hard if you're short

2nd go

A bit morpho/reachy

As Toni said, excluding the holds along the arete feels quite illogical and probably more like 6B+/C imo.

First go

The sit

The sit

On the bloc 10m south of "Juniorareten".

On the bloc 10m north of "Toblerone"

Knee x2

Topping along the arete felt stiff for 6B so escaped a bit

With a kneepad

Mantle crux for me

Tricky mantle

First go

Probably many ways to do this

First go

Possibly a bit reachy start move

Need to pinch the arete rly hard..

No dyno for me

No dyno for me

Heel

No dyno for me ne

First go. Possibly morpho

Possibly morpho

Shared the first move with Leia the way I did it, so First go instead of flash..

Don't think this one suits my tall body too well.. Either that, or a foothold on the right might have come off recently?

2nd go. Easier with a kneepad

Somewhat squeezed in.

Campus start

First go

Great overhang, bunched up ending. Felt harder than other 7A's in Sundsvall

Tricked by the shelf 🙂

Body smearing

Started with the higher holds. The lower sit felt hard for 6A+

Couldn't find the crimp so I matched the low jug.

Topout looks scary but isn't really

Sat on the stone

Nice juggy crack for the topout

Start catch to a shelf hold.

First go

Mantles naturally on the left side imo, especially now that the right side is mossy.

Started both hands in the jug as I couldn't find the "crimp". Felt hard, perhaps not my style.

Sitting immediately left of stone. First go

Better avoided

The low sit

First go

A hang start for a lot of people

Possibly morpho

Slightly sketchy mantle

Also repeated it with a lower sit.

Probably harder if you cant reach past the lower start holds

As mentioned, easy with step up.

Sketchy and currently dirty

Probably better avoided by adults

Probably tall person advantage here..

L.h. on lower steep crimp

First go after my gf found a better foothold

Had to switch beta twice..

All about the first move. With a kneepad.

Soft

Doesn't currently say it's a sit (6A+/B-ish), but the stand is like a grade 3-4 imo.

Dirty mantle. Clean the top before you go.

2nd go

First go.

A bit awkward feet

Awkward for me

Easier with crimps to the right but more solid without

Suspect that many go on the left side..

Probably reachy

Sketchy landing

First go

Contrived and harder than the 6B+

2nd go.

Topout is better than it looks.

Quite hard for the grade and slightly high.

Almost unreasonably hard for the grade compared to the majority of problems at Mandler's..

The only difficulty comes from trying to comply with the low definition..

Soft

Did it two ways, body to the right/around the arete, and then body only on the left side of the arete. The latter is slightly harder and nicer imo.

The low definition actually worked quite all right for once..

Held l.h. in the sharp pocket and still launched r.h. up to the right arete. Not sure if it's the intended way. Dubious line the way it's drawn (looks like a variation of Gotham City).

Narrow start. Works better with r.h. further right imo. Quite hard for the grade compared to the other blocs.

Such a low start..

Sitting on a stone..

Did a sit from where the drawn line starts.

One mover

Amazing hooks

Best bloc in Mandlers imho.

An unnecessary extension? Started two moves further right of the 6A-jug. First go.

Traversed all the way left and mantled after reaching the top. Felt nice that way.

The only reasonable way to start this for me is sitting with r.h. high. 5-6A that way.

Sit started with the obvious holds immediately above the markings.

Not that cool due the stone that's in the way. I sat on it.

Started sitting. Kinda hard and annoying due to the stone below.

Started sitting at the corner (marked). 2nd go.

The sit. Soft.

Slippery and low

The low sit

Soft

Would get 2/3 stars if it wasn't obsessively defined

That's one sharp crimp!

Body height helps

Again, not too sure how exactly this differs from the neighboring line. You probably gotta be small to tell a clear difference.

Silly low traverse..

Climbed almost the same as the one on the right

Made a big first move. Gotta be hard if you're short..

Top needs cleaning

Unnecessarily defined

A bit dabby

The sit. Without the arete.

The sit.

The sit.

The sit. Going direct (long move to sharp hold)

The sit

The sit. The stand is max 6A

Sit start. Soft.

Sit start

high

Stopped at the last jug to the left (standing on the shelf with the small ferns). Mossy top.

Stopped at last jug. Mossy top.

Stopped at the last jug 5m up. Mossy above

Mantled at the middle line due to the moss field on this one
