Close but no cigar! Tried to do the hard moves at the top instead of flinging for the chain.
chris_j_s - Lead dog - 01/Aug/09 with Will Carroll, James McCartan

conboy93 - Lead - 07/Jul/09 with adam jeeworth, simon rackley

Shame the finish is not well defined. To grab the chain from below misses the hard moves. Better to climb through, finishing on two large, opposing side pulls - but then grab the chain to clip?
OffshoreAndy - Lead RP - 20/Jun/09

myoung - TR - 25/May/09

Silly billy. Fell on onsight ascent pumping out trying to clip chain. Convinced myself that the way to do it was to do desparate moves to set feet up to make dynamic moves out to flake level with belay - this is not the way to do it I realise now and wasted everyone's efforts with this rediculous approach - oh well
