25m. climb WYSIWYG to the big flake right of the belay . Rock up right into the groove (on The Overlap) Pull up right and climb to obvious good undercuts . Hard moves up and left and then back right to grab the belay chain give the crux .

Getting the boulder problem clean to top and coming down to underclings to switch hands on jug. Still not happy with the move at the top of wizy but think i just have to do it that way.

don't see why you would need to grab the chain at all?! Only 2 moves really. WYSIWIG part probably the crux still. 7c+ max

chain grab method. maybe 7c+? Felt easier than china crisis, the ashes, man with a gun etc
lx - Lead β - 12/Jul/09 with Matt

Very good. Right method on crux clipping the belay
marky - Lead RP - 21/Jun/09 with Tim Lowe

Burly. Did right hand finish, clipped the belay from the good flat hold.

Kevin Avery - Lead RP - 19/Jun/09 with Toby Dunn

the original route climbed up left and then back right to the belay which you could not clip and was hard and scary to grab since we could not clip the bolt below either ! A few new holds and a different finish have now been unearthed . Its good its 7c+ but it aint Dead Calm !!!
