Very glad of Si's massive cam! Fairly thrutchy but kind of pleasant...
Cat G - Lead O/S - 27/May/12 with Simon Fowler

Long runout! could have done with big cams, but really enjoyed it. Layback most of the way, then got my legs in and amongst the crack to let the thrutch fest begin. I was wearing shorts and destroyed my legs. Good times
alexjz - Lead RP - 26/May/12 with Daniel James

franhammond92 - 2nd - 24/May/12

thrutchy. also, don't throw your shoes off the top. they will go in a big hole and it will take ages trying to get them out with a nutkey.. :/
benkelsey - Lead O/S - 24/May/12 with Fran Hammond

didn't like it. to my great shame I rested on gear as the rope somehow got stuck; couldn't get my knee out of the darn crack (also very cold & a little damp). excuses, excuses... size 4 DMM cams are barely big enough, probably wouldn't have held a fall. threading the chockstone leaves you breathless.

gethin_allen - Lead - 18/May/10 with Pete V

Good training for Goliath's Groove! At one move half way up if couldn't free my left foot from the crack. A loose chock stone provides welcome protection for the upper section.

Friend 4 only big enough to protect low down. Is 4c for thrutching? Definitely harder for bridging, laybacking and 2 handed jamming!

Nice, but a tad hairy for the grade. Laybacked it happily enough, but the gear ran out fast. Had to pause for moment or two, before going for the finish. From the bottom, I was wondering what grade the middle of the slab went at. From two thirds of the way up the crack, it seemed a lot steeper.

strangely enjoyable for a route which really just a thrutch. Friend 4 is the largest cam needed really, but a 5 might be welcome at the top.

this route is ace / it eats lge cams size 4 - 5 and a size .5 in break .. sadly we only had one lge cam at the time so had to just grit the teath and go ..bloody brilliant..tip..wear trousers..the route on the right of it (gable route i think ) is graded hvs 4c is much easier than roof route and its graded harder ..the mind boggles on this..
