anyone else got any info, let us know!
Its worth noting that the full tick on Blown Away requires a handjam in the final crack and a bunched up rockover. If the right side of the crack is laybacked its easier. Did both repeats utilise the jam? The Guardian of Carn Brea knows these things and may disallow them otherwise!
Oh! O.K. you may have caught me out there. When I first did 'Blown Away'(9th October 06) I did use the right side of the crack. But I did 'Swept Away' on the same day using the bunched-up hand jam method – I wouldn’t dream of claiming an ascent of one of Bob’s problems if I hadn’t drawn blood!
I have done 'Blown…' a few times now and I’m sure I’ve climbed it since by finishing up the crack so ignore the given date for my repeat but an ascent still stands. I don’t think it’s much more difficult using the crack. I find the hardest move being getting past the sloping elephant’s bum-crack section just after the point where 'Blown…' joins 'Swept Away'.
