CRiddiford - AltLd O/S - 01/Jul/12 with Jem, Chris

Think we took the wrong line on the traverse
Nick1812P - AltLd O/S - 01/Jul/12 with Paul

Brilliant line winding its way through the roofs with lots of air under your feet. Worth 5 stars just for the traverse pitch. Take loads of cams with you as we didn't have enough.
Skinny Kin - AltLd O/S - 06/Jun/12 with Neil Morbey

P2. A cool route, though ruined for me when I dropped my big blue camalot into the sea! Watch out for the hidden fulmars too!

1st and a bit of a second, becky had too much rope drag. People could avoid it if belaying on the line of the traverse.
