Excellent climbing, well worth a couple of stars. Attempted O/S lead but was being a wimp committing to the crux so top-roped it once and then led with head torch as it was getting dark. Slightly disappointed I top roped it as it wasn't that hard in the end and also I think could have got the O/S on a different night if I'd waited but still happy to have done this as it is a little gem.
