I'd say E4 6b for this at the moment. There is a boulder to step off on the left to traverse to the jug, or you can climb direct at about the same grade. 6b for first sequence, then two 6a sections IMO. The flake at the bottom may have fallen off, but even with it this must have been the hardest E2 around! Great route, shame the rock gets a bit scrittly at the top. Excellent gear all the way.

Tried to top rope this today, couldn't get off the ground and then realised there has been some significant rock fall and the starting boulder has also gone. Not sure what grade it would get now but the start is now very tough and no good protection for, at a guess, 5m. Shame, the top section looks so good.

Shunted after we abbed in at high tide with no ropes!

Didn't commit to rock over onto slab after failing to get gear in diagonal crack leading up to it. Jumped off, just missed the deck, abseiled for gear and top roped the route. Glad I jumped off: the rock over move is hard.

Bit damp so threw a rope down. Hard.

Pippa - Lead dnf - 28/May/11 with Jon
Managed the hard moves out left and fell in the rock over onto the slab (twice). Then managed the rest in one go. Climbed on a coaching day with Johnny Dawes.
Also worth pointing out the large flake at the start of the route is no more...

All clean apart from the rockover on to the slab. Flake was missing
Gareth - TR dog - 05/Mar/11 with Johnny Dawes
Climbed on a great coaching day with Johnny Dawes. Fell quite a few times on the bottom crux but eventually worked it out. No problems once over the rock over.
royal - 2nd dog - 05/Mar/11 with gareth, johnny dawes, andrew benham
Had attempted the lead, fell off a couple times getting round on the slab, then decided to top rope it after 1 fall got to the top, first lead attempt at an e2...
