Onsight to top move, 1st rp. Great climbing!

Last move (fall extension) from shite hold -> failed to reach break.

Felt pretty easy for 7b, maybe my style tho? Lots of small holds but plenty that are big enough to get a bit back. Helps if you use your feet! Should have lead it really.
Adam Booth - TR O/S - 20/Oct/12

rewachy hard pulls :) tendon popping fun!!!
David Clover - Lead RP - 15/Oct/12

Got the last move in isolation but couldn't figure out how to do the mantle/rock-over half way.

one good right-foot smear and I'll have the bugger...

Kevster - Lead RP - 30/Jun/12

Mark had mistaken this for 'Too many cooks', so after he dog-clipped it, thought I'd have a quick top rope. Guidebook is right, top moves are absoloutely desperate if you are short.
RFWilkie - TR dnf - 24/Jun/12

tried again on TR today after the cutting edge. still cant figure the last move. do a high move to a side pull off two crimps, no idea beyond that. only smears for the feet and on such poor holds cant make the final move to the break.

Vince McNally - Lead dnf - 17/Mar/12

Starting to feel easy now. climbed it too much.
Ed morris - Lead rpt - 05/Feb/12 with Theo

tried this on TR after the arete, really good moves. crux right at the top, really stiff pulls on some sidepulls and crimps. awesome mantle move in the middle

nice moves but not many of them, bit like a grit V4
Toby Dunn - Lead O/S - 05/Nov/11 with Jon Emmet

a bit tricky on a wet day
dan gibson - Lead RP - 30/Oct/11 with michael porter

13th time's a charm. Also Lead Dog on 26/10 and 18/09/11 (very morpho crux move - giving a universal grade for everyone is almost totally meaningless. close. done in 2 bits. can get to the hard move clean and then do the crux to the top in isolation.)
Quiddity - Lead RP - 29/Oct/11 with Vinnie, catt, Hazel

2nd go and beta assist to Nick. Fun moves!

First redpoint for a while. Quality route with a desperate last move.
Honrei - Lead RP - 25/Sep/11

1st RP
Chris_barr - Lead RP - 11/Sep/11 with Theo, Bob

Quite possibly everybody in the cuttings heard me scream for joy when i grabbed the final hold.
Haydn Jones - Lead RP - 03/Sep/11 with ed morris

Good climb, tried it ground-up and made good progress but didn't fancy the move onto the ledge without practice first. Would like to go back and work this route properly.

another half-hearted attempt.

very nice, great moves, started raining after a 15mins of work, bit on the soft side I'd say for the grade.
