11th Feb 2012 Walk on by
Sooooo I did my first V10 the other week called 'Walk on by' at Curbar.
It is definietly my kind of terrain, steep slab climbing!
The original way went leftwards but since a hold broke (is now totally nails going left!) it seems most people (well Caff and Ryan.) now trend right at the start to a pinch then do a tricky slap to another pinch, then get an intermediate and slap straight up to the finishing ledge.
