24m. The middle finger crack leads to the cave (worthwhile at HVS 5b) and poor belays - best continue. A tricky traverse left and thin wall gain a ledge on the arete. Trend right to finish. © ROCKFAX

Kept pumping out at the top of the crack I need more stamina! Fell again at the crux as it was a tad damp!

Led in 1 pitch! Thought the bottom crack was stiff for HVS. The moves on the face and the unprotected romp up the arete are awesome!

Lead P1 previously, ran it all into one today. Top section was all a bit gripping, would've ended up at Higgar Tor if I'd've blown it near the top.

Lead it one pitch so ran it out to prevent rope drag. Thought the top was pretty good value for HS?

Pete Graham - Lead O/S - Sep/09

Brilliant route. Starting crack has easy to read but pumpy moves up to the cave. Nice rest. The traverse out left and up the finger crack is obvious but fingery asnd committing - not exactly a hand rail! Reward is an easy romp to finish. A good route to try if you are pushing your grade as very safe gear.

Hidden - 2nd O/S - 22/Jul/08

Went ok. First crack needs respect but came easy compared to top half, which was scary to start (despite good friends in cave exit), became insecure and then produced solid wires for top moves to shelf. Got caught out by some bad rope drag. Very pleasing ascent for me
Cragrat Rich - Lead O/S - 10/Jun/08

Hidden - Lead O/S - 10/Jun/08

Got a little bit scared on this. Lat bit of really solid gear was at the top of the hvs and eventually fell off onto a poor nut that I sketched into the traversing finger crack, as I was trying to rock up poorly onto the ledge. Get back on it Matt.
mattyork2 - Lead dnf - 07/Jun/08 with Pete Ellis

first pitch only. found this as hard as Regent Street, Probably was just tired. still enjoyable though
