pr1984 - 2nd dog - 29/Apr/11 with Chris Chambers

Great route. Got to the top break, was getting pumped and had an issue with placing a cam so reversed the moves to the first ledge. Had a quick shake out and went up again. Got the gear sorted then got a hand on the top but was too pumped to do the mantle. Climbed down to the last bit of gear and got lowered off. Had a proper rest then did it. Real nice route with a tricky top out.

Awesome jug pulling, on weird grit ground. Totally safe, when your feet could be popping of last of the moves and your just hanging on the arms... It's a good feeling.
