A busy Jerry's Roof boulder, Llanberis Pass© Jack Geldard – Editor – UKC, 28 May 2009Just a few days after her ascent of Rock Atrocity (UKC News) in Parisella's Cave, Mina Leslie-Wujastyk has ticked Jerry's Roof (V9).Jerry's Roof is a classic powerful roof problem on the Cromlech Boulders in the Llanberis Pass. It was first climbed by Jerry Moffat in the late 1980's, and takes a central line of glassy holds straight through the large cave/roof 3m from the Llanberis Pass road.Mina's ascent of the classic boulder problem is the first by a woman according to Ray Wood in his report on the DMM Website;”Finally the uber-classic Jerry's Roof in the Llanberis Pass has had a female ascent (if anyone knows different we'd like to hear).”The crux is a long move to a three-finger dish/pocket, which is known to be easier for tall people. Ray Wood commented;”It took Sheffield based Mina Leslie-Wujastyk four or five sessions to get it dialled. She found the hardest part was controlling the body swing once she'd made what for her was a dynamic snatch for the pocket. Being short definitely makes this move harder.”Mina Leslie-Wujustyk© Keith Sharples, Jul 2008Mina placed 5th in the 2008 British Bouldering Championships, and has previously climbed several V9 boulders and the classic Raven Tor problem Ben's Roof (V10/Font 7C+).You can read a report with action photo on the DMM WebsiteMina is sponsored byEvolv ,Metolius ,Prana andThe Climbing WorksDiesen Artikel inkl.
