15 May James Noble repeats Fat Lip, 8b
"Only" a 8b you might think. We have waited eight years before this block was repeated. Opened by His Majesty Steve McClure in 2007, Fat Lip at Raver Tor remained there, until today, when James Noble has managed to repeat for the second time this impressive bow.
"The problem is the obvious lip of the cave between Weed Killer and the end of Keen Roof. It climbs like a compression prow on generally okay holds and is not what you would expect of something of that grade at the Tor!"
One wonders why there isn’t been more reps when the area is plenty busy. James replies that it’s just lack the will to do it by strong climbers. Now that there was the second ascent goes on, surely others climbers will be for other repetitions.
