βeta: The day just got better and better. Quick chat with Big Ron at the base of the crag, some awesome warm ups, got this onsight, then glanced across at the quarry on the opposite side of the road just as the Mission Impossible 7 film crew drove a train off a massive cliff! Definitely coming back to Stoney!!!

βeta: The wire below the peg is now crap as the block to the left is loose, there is a good wire above the peg, but the peg is probably holding this block in place, so it's might not be that good.

βeta: Short-lived but pleasant with some fun moves. Probably 5b, it's more committing than actually hard.

βeta: my first lead and second route at stoney. tricky to get established up on the arete. here there is a perfect slot for a size 2 rock just left of the arete. bit of a 'hop an a skip' up from here - good move to easy ground. This route is SAFE. I know its stoney but really no reason to toprope this climb.

βeta: Instead of tackling the upper section direct, the line in the guide moves around the upper corner and back - They require a bit of a reach, but are well worth doing. Slightly easy for the grade, none-the-less. Same comment as Alun - Why the peg? Any way it can be removed?

βeta: An interesting a worthwhile route, despite it being a two move wonder really. I didn't think the polish was too bad (for Stoney!), and the peg is rather pointless given the good nut placement directly underneath it.
