I find the hooks at White Goods more tenuous / technical, but Newtyle seems much more powerful.

I've visited Newtyle twice, climbing the easier lines which I think were given M6, and working the moves on the easiest line in the big cave Fast & Furious? which was given M10, I could do all the moves straight away except for the crux which is usually done with a fig four. This route seemed very doable and it wouldn't surprised if this now gets graded by Greg and the regulars at M9 or 9+. White Goods is the place I'm most familiar with and to me the grades seem benchmark there. Almost all the Works routes I did would get a grade harder at White Goods.Ian Parnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13621726885697013528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784181130464708201.post-29330714618394326142012-10-14T16:56:29.741+01:002012-10-14T16:56:29.741+01:00Hi Ian, any idea how do the grades compare to Newt...Hi Ian, any idea how do the grades compare to Newtyle or White Goods?<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
