Done recently by Steve Dunning, and found to be not that hard after all. Should've eaten my weetabix I guess.

Its the right hand finish to Big Greenie. From the good gear on Big Greenie you climb the shallow groove up and right.

So what grade does "not that hard" equate to? I bet it's something stupidly hard

Oh well that's ok then. I have just lead my first two proper E1s on grit recently. I will pop over and give it a go this weekend perhaps - in the rain!

Good effort to those concerned!
