First route at Kilnsey and first 6c. Really enjoyed this! Shoulder jam a couple of metres beneath pulling out of groove made the top section much easier. Brill. Will be back to try more stuff at Kilnsey.

To be honest i have been on this before but too long ago to remember anything, and i dont think i got past the obvious flake climbing. Either i did this wrong or its hard for the grade, small slopey crimps up-top.

steve_biczyk - Lead rpt - 26/Jun/09 with Emma Curry, Marcus Pontin

quite steep, quite pumpy and a bit blind when you pull onto headwall. not to mention some moving blocks. wasnt going to get flash pump on this so had 3 rests but that was excessive, the real reason for the rests was probably the slightly trad / out there feel at the top: quite engaging and very good.
