John Peel, E2,5b in the electric quarry at Stoney is now clean and dry, so a good time to give it a go.

Did John Peel this summer and the top half was in a pretty loose state. Is it much the same?
It felt pretty gripping up there, and I definitely shed some holds

Did you do it this afternoon? One orange helmet and one blue? If so I walked passed with my kids. It looked a really good route, a shame the foreground of that quarry isn't more attractive.

Great route and good one for giving it a clean... Thanks.
In reply to TobyA:
Yes, that was us on it today.
It is a very good route, sustained and feels hard for the grade. It has some loose rock particularly in the top section.

A bit of history on this routes name, it was named by F/A Jack Street who was seconded on the first ascent by John Ibbotson who fell off while seconding it.

Nice story, but it would have been better if the leader had done it in 45 minutes and the second in 33

Which, coincidentley, is how the route of the same name in Dovedale was named (by 'trog' Williams with John Amis doing the peeling).
