brilliant. A real test of faith in friction, boning down on little pebbles keeping your head together.

Really good, about third go. Did it using the pebbles near the right arete. Scarier as you get higher

Looks like it keeps on getting harder and spookier as you go up and I couldn't get my head around the wierdness at the end of the day.

Sweet! Very nice climbing, just enough moves. Found the move to the sloper touch and go. Wouldn't have done it if I hadn't met Alan at the crag. Cheers!

Getting stood in the good left dish took quite a few attempts (cunning use of thumbs on crystals), from there it went first go. Felt the same grade as Approach.

After working out the bottom moves it took two more visits to muster the courage for the top moves. Beautiful problem.
