Dogged as arms pumped out. great climbing, should have had more guts to climb above gear.

Got to the layback with the big crack and realized I'd used all my big cams at the bottom so had to climb back down to get them. It really is a hard HVS.

1st pitch only, both me and steve whimped out on the second pitch, disco leg was in full effect and I was slightly pumped as well, harder than I expected.

Total epic! Went back to lead the first pitch and to then belay Jon up the 2nd pitch. However, Jon slipped put of the jamming crack, just below The Bower, and took a sizable swinging fall! Managed to haul him to the tree and then I lead the 2nd pitch. Again!

WOW, feel the pump! Dont see why you would do this in 2 pitches other than to rest, I ran it out in to one. I had to have one rest on gear about 3-4 metres up from the end of the traverse, hands uncurling off a jug on an easy move :(

Led P2, which seemed easier than the first. Brilliant. Update Aug 11, repeated route leading P1 this time. Fell off the start until I realised going up the tree on the left is the way forward. Jamming section easier than I remembered but start of P2 is well awkward. Great gear throughout.

Hidden - 2nd O/S - 31/Aug/05

I led the first pitch but both seconds struggled to follow, we abseiled out of the Bower. Meanwhile a second party climbed the route in one pitch but their second was also unable to follow. I seconded on their rope removing both their gear and mine.
