Lovely day on my own at burbage with a couple of pads. A great route to finish off a great week! Once sussed the moves were steady 5c, but easily misread. Probably protectable in that slot, but at the cost of the best hold. Nosferatu next.
Mike Goldthorp - Solo O/S - 04/Mar/11

IMO the slot refered to below has always been there, could not get anything to fit myself so don't count on it!
