Nice route! Interesting mantelshelf in the middle
Babika - 2nd - 16/Feb/13 with Greg Jones, Charles Leek

nice easy climbing, I found two nut placements in opposing forces in the corner made the last move across the ledge in my opinion safe but easy for the grade :)

not bad as padme damp not as polished but ledges wet and grassy and ivy growing in places
D J Williams - Lead O/S - 20/Nov/10

We may have moved right too soon, the book's not clear. Though the continuation of the corner, as well as being unprotected, had something of the jungle about it!
Toreador - 2nd O/S - 18/Sep/10 with Carmen

link in to the top pitch of padme, then sat at the belay and got rained on, so abed off.
