[Carls Wark Crack, 3 kb]Start in the pit. After the slippery start, this gives great, sustained crack-climbing on knobbly jams. Not too polished, not too desperate and entertaining for spectators. © ROCKFAX

Excellent jamming crack with 'thank god' face holds. The hardest bit is straight off the deck, after that it's sustained 5b but with good jamming rests and then easier towards the top. Paul belayed but couldn't get beyond the first few moves so Brian seconded to get the gear out. Last route of the day before going to Leamington via Brian's to go to Budapest with Holly in the morning.

davesykes - 2nd - 29/Aug/11 with willy

One rest at about half height between the two wider sections. Got a move wrong, had to reverse it then was totally boxed. Bit gutted as after that move there was a recovery position and then it eased off a bit :oS

Hidden - Lead O/S - 09/Jun/11

Mega heavy lead... Got trapped by the sun and had to strip off 2 layers Houdini stylie, from a reasonably bad position. Required swift/solid pro sorting and plenty of gumption to get between the various R&R spots!

Nice and pumpy. Didn't help that I didn't take the right kind of gear.
Andrew Barker - Lead O/S - 26/May/10 with Chunk

duzinga - 2nd dog - 27/Mar/10 with Pete Harris

Felt like an absolute sandbag pump-fest. I had about 4 rests on it as did my second and we would both normally expect to be comfortablish at the grade. It was the end of the day and I can't jam for toffee... but maybe northerners are just made of sterner stuff, eh?

One of my hardest leads of the year :) A full-on battle most of the way up. Right from the start there are hard moves with terrible footholds. Got desperately pumped, and managed to kick out my best nut placement as I moved up :/ Superb!
