Initial start was hard due to the direction of the rope pull. Once past this very tight corner start I felt comfortable. Overcast weather.

Rich lead, I went second. The lower section above the large block at the start is very polished but the holds are all there. At the top came right to go round the 4th tooth but ended up going over the top of it. Enjoyed it and great end to the days climbing

Remarkably, I got this cleanly. My ascent was a catalogue of schoolboy errors. Several careless slips (recovered); I dropped my krab of small nuts (downclimbed to recover them). Despite the dry weather, this climb was damp and greasy, but only on the right hand side. It made bridging interesting.
