[Concentration, 2 kb]10m. A route for those who like them short, sharp and well protected. Amble up the lower section and assault the central crack in the white headwall. Brief but excellent. © ROCKFAX

Nice little sequence, went very smoothly on top rope, but sure it is a different beast on the sharp end. Will have to come back on a warmer day to have a crack at leading.

A PROJECT! This is well within my grasp and will be climbed, ground up.... soon! Spent myself placing gear on crux, tried to have it up the crux after having a word with myself and lobbed off... I'll be back.

Very hard finger locks. Total sandbag.

Sopping wet. Good effort by Helen to get up it even dogging. Could hold none of the crack holds. Looked nice!
philhilo - 2nd dog - 08/Jul/12 with Helen E

mattshort - Lead dog - 30/Jun/12 with Matt Wallace

Led up to crux, managed to place enough gear in the crack but too knackered to complete so left for Matt S to finish! Managed final moves without too much difficulty on second, once I'd extracted my nuts!

Like last time got ti undercut but could not get up onto the vertical crack. Rich successfully top roped it, well happy. Andy got up it with considerable assistant from a very tight rope (violin string)
Steve954 - TR - 04/Sep/11 with Andy, Rich & Alex

Attempted this 5 years ago when I first started climbing, couldnt do the crux. Went back today and did it first attempt on second. Perhaps I will come back and give it a Lead attempt.

Ybot Htulk - 2nd dog - 08/Mar/11 with Jez

Quite good. Hard moves at the top. My second jammed one of the cams at the overlap. Bugger
mark_wellin - Lead O/S - 22/Nov/10

Immaculate rock on the top crack. I had some excitement trying to scramble around to Freda at the bottom afterwards when a wave broke over my head. Yikes!

The hardest E1 i've ever climbed and the only E1 i've ever fallen off. Would have taken a whipper but managed to stick a micro cam (0) in the upper crack. Turns out i'd missed a foot hold.

At the v far 'safe but hard' end of the E1 spectrum. Holds better than expected but surprised and disappointed to find no fingerjams required. Betaflashed after watching some chap falling/resting twice.
