First 7a o/s on Portland, long time coming. Great route too. I thought this was better than Sacred Angel, nicer moves and a better line in the upper half. Hard but quite onsightable.

1st redpoint try after nearly getting it on the flash attempt. More sustained and better than the other 7a to the left. Great route! No way it's only 15m long, it must be about 20m.

Hidden - Lead RP - 16/Nov/08

I didn't think this was as good as Sacred Angel, lacked a strong line near the top.

Hidden - Lead O/S - 24/May/08
