[The Diedre E2 5b at Kilnsey, 3 kb]2 pitches. The large open corner gives the best mid grade trad route on the crag. Sadly it isn't often dry. 1) 5a Follow the corner to a bulge. Move onto the right wall and climb up before stepping back into the corner and a ledge on the left. 2) 5b Climb above the belay to a bulge. Pull around this awkwardly to gain a rest (thread). Move left and climb up to a tree. Traverse back into the corner and follow it to the top. Abseil off. © ROCKFAX

Class trad line. Led both pitches as one. The first half was a breeze but still great climbing, second half was more taxing. Still far easier than anything else at this god-forsaken crag though! ;)
Cragrat Rich - Lead O/S - 14/Jun/11

I led the 5a pitch. Awesome second pitch.
Kafoozalem - AltLd O/S - 13/Aug/09 with Sue Hazel

Tremendous outing this in an old fashioned sort of way - you get to climb a tree half way through the top pitch too! I recommend topping out rather than abbing off for the full experience.
