Packs a punch for it's short length. You really have to get both hands and both feet jammed in at one point.

The most dogged bit of doggy-style dogging that I've ever done. I probably just need more practice at crack climbing, but I found the top half much more difficult than I expected, especially when it turned into laybacking on footjams.
cameron_hall - Lead dog - 01/Sep/12 with Tor Nockles, Will Benfold

Too wide to jam, just laybacked the whole thing, not too bad but no way HS 4b!

Rested 2se on the same cam. was damp so was hard to keep jams in. Definitely VS. The crack is too thin to get proper jams in for the first bit.

If slumping onto gear counts as falls . . . three or four rests on gear before summing up the courage to finish the upper half of the crack. This probably would've been easier if I hadn't just done Count's Buttress which had pretty much demolished me. Thoughtful placement of cams would have helped as well as the crack flared upwards towards the top and I placed my cam in the last good jam. Ran out the end quite a bit as well due to getting really tired.

Nothing like a good jamming crack to shatter your ego. Struggled with this unfortunately even though I've been going pretty good lately! Moved up and hands into the crack quite easily, pretty much perfect hand jams, lockers. Then I came to realise there was nothing for my feet except the crack, wearing my excruciatingly painful Galileos! It was literally like sticking my naked feet into a grater, then twisting. Needless to say I became a wimp very quickly and started thugging my way up with my hands, not a good idea! The jams get wider and wider the higher up you get but are generally pretty ok. Unfortunately I kept sticking my feet in and not twisting enough because of the pain meaning they slipped down hurting even more and putting more weight on my arms. After the 3 metre crack, I ended up exhausted doing a shoulder jam whilst I caught my breath. I will be back with some sloppier shoes and a couple of pairs of socks soon! Well protected and a nice line, just short. VS 4c I would say.
