I don't get on well with this route. I took falls again before sorting out the best sequence for me. Now redpointed and best forgotten :-)

has a distinct whiff of the trad about it. got a grade A jam on.good moves, could do with an extra bolt to stop fannies like me stepping left and clipping the neighbouring route's last bolt at foot height.

thomasadixon - Lead O/S - 07/Apr/09 with Alan & Co

Tom led this, found it hard, okay bridging moves which looked like the hard bit, then got the good holds, and just couldn't do it! Messed up my feet, slipped off and had to haul myself up and over! Got lucky!
