The Stanton shuffle.

I'd tried the Stanton shuffle on and off for many years, and had never really felt fit or strong enough until this year to link it. I think you need to be realistic with these things, and accept that specific conditioning is necessary, and the weather needs to be favourable. I'd like to link the traverse into the classic highball, but that'll need extra fitness, pads and a spotter, as the top will definitely present a fierce redpoint crux - I've always thought brutal arete should be 7b+ anywhichway you look at it.
Sport season now - repeat after me 8b8b8b...
