I'm on Tremolo as well at the mo, and I'm pretty sure Tremolo will go with fewer attempts than this did! Feels a lot harder than eg Seventh Aardvark, Personal Services.

Fell off the last tricky move, should have got it really, pretty frustrating. Amazing the improvement since when i tried this with Sean.

Very good route and nice to get to grips with some typical awful malham footholds. Think its well hard for 7b!

Some wet holds on a cold day. Totally numb fingers at the top. Good route - much better than it looks from the ground.

Nice route, fairly reachy. Flashed all the climbing but fell as a foot popped clipping the last bolt (having climbed past the best position to do so...) Quite nasty sideways, rope burning fall. Did it next go.
