Did the right-hand start which felt pretty steady but the top offwidth and ledge below it was covered in green slime and unclimbable so we ran away. One to come back to on a drier day for sure.

i know I was out of shape, but 5a? c'mon, it's 5b if ever there was one! brutal. I got to the upper offwidth (it is for my tiny hands) and didn't have big enough gear even after being passed the biggest hex we had from below! I didn't fancy risking a wanger on a hastily placed cam! in the words of Arnie 'i'll be back', but with bigger gear and tougher fists!

Went up right where I had some trouble placing gear. Traverse was fun but I freaked on the wider section, got tired and run out and thought it was only going to get worse so baled and injured a big toe on the way down. Would have been my first HVS, gutted.
