The horror, the horror... Brilliant pitch, took my first leader fall halfway up. Unfortunately it started raining as I got to the top so Ed couldn't follow so had to ab for the gear.

At the crux my right arm was completely jammed (horror...), and so I had to place high gear, took a weight off and took it out (it still took 5 minutes!). Anyhow what a fantastic route!! Definitely 3 star and it rivals any HVS route in North Wales IMHO.
