[Portland limestone early march, 2 kb]28m. Pleasant climbing punctuated by some fairly tough moves. Start below a semi-circular cut-out above the first break. Climb to below the upper wall. Sustained climbing gains a small ledge from where one last blind move reaches easier ground and the top wall. © ROCKFAX

Previously went up the first half of this and accidently linked into the 7a+ to the right, so onsighted the meat of this route once i had read the guidebook again!

3rd try / first proper redpoint. Burningly hot = not good for small holds!

First go this year, putting clips in, finally did it clean. Also attempted 26/Jun/11 with Neils, Hazel (got the top clean this time but total brain fart on the move to the hand rail and had to pull on the old rusty bolt stub.) and 30/Aug/10 with Hazel (painfully close. Missed a crucial hold on the last move of the crux. Gah. Will return for the RP.)

First 7a flash. Suprised myself! Really good techinical, crimpy climbing and a hands off rest! climbed it well up to and through the crux, then fumbled my way to the top a little over excited and shakey!
