Charley took over the lead after Jack backed off at the bulge. I took over the second but came off at the same place after hanging on to the undercling break to get gear out then fingers too tired to pull me up out left to grab the jug. Did it no problem after a rest again. Must try to get it clean next time! Kev then had a go on toprope but backed off. Steve had no problem with his superstrength fingers and a bit more reach.

Took over after Jack came down. Didn't bother pulling the ropes, had already led before. Really enjoyed it again, not sure why Jack hates it so much?

I first climbed this route about 30 years ago so I'm going to count this as a 'clean onsight' rather than a 'clean repeat'. It is a fantastic route which I will return to in rather less than 30 years next time! Easily worth 3 stars.
Falko - Lead O/S - 23/Mar/12 with Les Deakin

Bloody good name!
Les Deakin - 2nd - 23/Mar/12

Excellent climb. Put way too much gear in before the crux, was expecting it to be tougher then it was but found it really nice and enjoyable...
charley - Lead O/S - 18/Mar/12 with Ange

Not a good day. Struggled with dodgy tendons especially after retrieving gear from the break/crack under the roof then couldn't hold the the next move an a crimp to reach the jug :-( Would love to do again with stronger fingers.
