[Rich Garnett on Pendulum on Garage Buttress, Stoney Middleton, 3 kb]The well-named girdle can be started via Aquiline or better, from the descent path. It features a lot of hunched up climbing and sideways shuffling. Three pitches is normal, finish with a short abseil from gear in the break. © ROCKFAX

Jim Slater - AltLd O/S - 23/Jul/12 with Graeme Hammond

lead first pitch as far as a belay with Little Plum, Jim lead as far as Rippemoff/Helicon were we abseiled off in the dark (late start + much faff) think you can continue about another 10 meters which may include the crux looking at an old guide. Great climbing what we did.
Graeme Hammond - AltLd O/S - 23/Jul/12 with Jim

jshields - AltLd - 30/Jun/12 with Ed James, Steve Ebbens

Interesting route, a bit bunched in places if tall, and hands are a bit polished and grotty in places. Gear fiddly and some in situ threads and pegs are in a poor way. Equipped thread for abbing off from at end of difficulties.

Brilliant exposed route.

fantastic route, not as easy as it looks, and the gear is not as good as you want it to be.
