3rd go. Awesome! Felt soft for 7b+ - Feels hard when you first try it but gets easier and easier as you figure out sneaky beta.

Almost got onsight, slid off blob mid crux. Second go in Thunderstorm! fell too. 7b+.
loundsy - Lead dog - 28/Oct/10

belay bunny turned bad - 2nd - 28/Oct/10 with loundsy

First redpoint after dogging 3 times. Awesome route, think the 7b+ given in the new guide is about right, can't see how it'd merit 7c.
AlistairB - Lead RP - 24/Sep/10 with Cheehan

So nearly got this on sight! Almost unbearably hot though... Great route
whistler - Lead dog - 15/Jun/10 with Anna

Hidden - Lead - May/10

Crux took a couple of tries, but surely still must be very easy for 7b+.
jgustafsson - Lead RP - Mar/10 with Jen

Gus - Lead O/S - 21/Oct/09

4th go .. used a couple of under cuts to get around the big move at the crux. felt hard but better than a lunge.
mux - Lead RP - 31/Aug/09 with Damian the Canadian

Great route, used a heelhook at the crux, 2nd go. 7b/+

2nd go today. great stuff: steep but straightforward climbing gains the crux and then an upper wall thats a bit meatier than Gladiator

Hidden - Lead O/S - Oct/07

Got on 4th try over 2 days.....a bit wobbly at the crux but managed to pull through, shake out and stick with it for the top section.
Morgan Woods - Lead RP - 27/Sep/07 with David S

fell at crux 3 times, didnt hang around to work it out - people waiting. straightforward but sustained up to crux (good rest against big tufa).
ksjs - Lead dnf - 21/Sep/07 with goosebump

Redpointed after two 'inspection' climbs, F7b+ in the local 2006 guide.
bencarpenter - Lead RP - 14/Sep/07 with Alan Higham

Hidden - 2007

wicked route. With a hard crux and a tricky section to a easy headwall.
Tim Broughtonshaw - Lead RP - 28/Sep/06 with Charlie Woodburn, Neil Gresham

Just a bit of fun really, bolt-to-bolting the route on lead. Couldn't do the 2 crux moves though because of weak fingers.
Nick Smith - UKC - Lead dnf - 28/Sep/06 with Tim Bertenshaw

GT3 but too pumpy and painfull for me.
Dave Musgrove - Lead dog - May/06 with Nigel Baker
