Playing on toprope due to midges and rain. Nice climb...shedloads easier than Aphids wall despite only being one grade difference. Start was the hardest part.

Climb is quite enjoyable and not too difficult but protection is over half height and not really that good until you are nearly at the top. Don't be fooled by the breaks, they are all rubbish and will not take gear. One to put your bold head on for.
