Neeed a rest to commit to the top. Annoying really..

bit reachy at the top, great climb though.
Milne - 2nd O/S - 20/Mar/12 with tom allsop

Arms too pumped after The Link and so handed the lead to Richard. Excellent little route with long reach to the top.
Steve Waters, Mynydd - 2nd - 14/Mar/12 with Richard Waltham

Certainly packs it in, 5b start, hard 5b middle I thought, pumpy and reachy top-out. quality little HVS..
Wilbur - Lead O/S - 20/Nov/11 with Rick

dickie01 - 2nd O/S - 19/Nov/11 with Julian King

Dixie led. Myself & JC stuggled to get off the ground. Eventually, gave me a leg up to get established on VB - frustrating because I have soloed VB in the past. Good well protected climbing on Buitchers - must come back to lead once I have got my hip sorted!

moving onto the route proper i spent far too much time wondering about my hands and not paying enough attention to possible foot holds that might become invisible as i moved up. a valuable lesson

Awkward start and tricky and reachy finish. Seemed like HVS and certainly considerably harder it's neighbour, Greengrocer Wall to the L.
