God that was awkward, hard work
Thinker01 - 2nd dog - 27/Apr/13 with RFWilkie

What a mother this is. So close but slumped onto my jammed hand which stayed jammed. Ouch.
Jonathan Hall - Lead - 20/Apr/13 with Sam Stringer

needed a rest before topping out. so pumpy for a short climb.

TM_Horton - Lead O/S - 06/Oct/12 with webby

Just epic! a great tussle made easier for me with fluttery foot-jams. Now to lead...

Couldn't get the thin hand jams to stick above roof :(
Ross.Cooper - Lead dnf - 06/Sep/12 with Harry Yarrow

Fantastic route!! Easier than it looks (if you are short..). Definitely a lot easier than the Mincer.

Aided, pretty damn hard. No idea what to do with my feet.

gazfellows - Lead dnf - 20/May/12 with Billy nic, steff

Excellent climb! I think it was the first time for me that my feet went cut loose thoroughly relying on jamming even for a fraction of a second. Very committing. Cams placed on the roof crack were pushed and moved by the rope drag, but my second managed to retrieve them.
masa-alpin - Lead O/S - 13/May/12 with Rob G, Simon P, Chris G, Lee P

I need to improve my jamming technique!
minaturechris - 2nd dog - 13/May/12 with Lee Parsons, Masa

Climbed it previously on 2nd with a friend. Still doesn't take it away from this climb. Stunning.

'Did not finish' not an accurate summary as I barely started it (was just curious to see what the start was like). There goes the onsight but will be back when feeling less knackered

Out of practice and weak, my left hand just wasn't jamming properly! Gave it a fair few goes and then rain started pouring down the crack.

Gear in-situ (rope got stuck so lead instead of seconding)

Didn't jam once
sparkass - Lead O/S - 12/Sep/10 with Emerson Clark

awesome!
natalietanzer - Lead O/S - 29/Aug/10 with gary

Went up to the crack several times trying to figure out the best way to do it, eventually decided you needed two hands jammed in the crack and to control the swing of your legs from left to right, got jams in, left hand fist jam absolutely solid, swing right foot to small lips on right face, knee contact is inevitable, take right hand out, desperately grope for good hand hold on right lip, pull yourself up, left elbow on ledge, toes in little foothold, wang a nut in, take five minutes to get you breath back. Hand jams are solid, lost very little skin, well chuffed :-) ( One rope got jammed though while going up final slab and had to untie it with one hand, glad it was a bowline )

Gutted! Thought i'd nailed it but on the top crack a sweaty jam slid down onto the cam below crushing my thumb, which is still numb! I grabbed the cam to take the weight off. Proper sad :-(

Andrew Barker - Lead - 2008

Big sloth-like struggle. Almost forgot there was a foothold on the lower edge until I was nearly off! One of the hardest earned onsights I can remember

Brutal, but somehow very tempting and encouraging. One rest at the lip before committing to the top section. Possible E2 5c if you layback the whole thing (which I did...)
