[Double Scotch, 3 kb]The crack and big pockets on the right lead to an overlap (thread and weird rest) and a pumpy finale up the short wall. Escaping right is easier but is only for those lacking in scruples. © ROCKFAX

tried this a year or so ago and bottled out onto the ledge. nice to tie up loose ends
J.Wells - Lead RP - 12/Jun/12 with Mark Rankine

First E2, really good route. Strenuous up to the initial cracks, tough "lifting the fridge moves". Nice thread, ace route/
James Oswald - Lead O/S - 10/Jun/12 with Duncan

Did properly this time - a bit eliminate - good ledges are only ever a sideways step away, but good pumpy climbing. Much more in reserve this time.

First E2 grade. Rocked up to Minus Ten Wall and thought that the line looked great to climb. We had no guidebook...It was great fun, pumpy at parts, but mainly because of my lack of experience at the time. Was very happy to hear it was an E2.

Pumped right arm, couldn't remember any moves and couldn't even put the thread in so proved a bit of a buzz

belay bunny turned bad - 2nd - 25/Jul/10 with loundsy

Think i don't get the tick as i had a rest on the ledges out right and missed the undercut move. Seemed entirely logical at the time. pumpy route
Bart Shaw - Lead O/S - 25/Jul/10 with Dunc

1st quarter of route lead on some of Tom's gear. Placed an early runner too before leading the rest on mine. Feel fair taking the onsight as i'd worked through the beggining from the ground with Tom on his attempt. with it being a get on, climb back down 'job for us anyway. - Underated for sure!

Have seconded before but the top wall was onsight as mark went out right. Under-rated, pumpy and good value for E2 if you go totally direct through the top overlap.
liam - Lead rpt - 28/Jun/10 with Mark R

Seconded it then got straight on for the lead. Easy though steeper than it looks - or gravity was sucking hard that day. Great hands off rest. As much gear as you want.

rope was up as Al had abbed down, great moves that had me gasping, placing gear would have been a major problem due to completely knackered climber.
