An excellent climb with contrasting halves. The steep upper section is best climbed quickly. When everything looks lost at the top try reaching blindly for the good hold. © ROCKFAX

Enjoyable overhang climbing with double heelhooks to finish.

Excellent Climbing with left and right heel hooks making the ending a little more bearable. one more move and i would have been off!

Hidden - Lead O/S - 01/Apr/13

Put the draws up, saw noone climb it, a real onsight! Really fun. Thought it was a 6c+. Did say to a mate "one more move and that would have been 7a in my opinion" close call guess it will feel a bit easy for the gym rats.
Pankake - Lead O/S - Apr/13

dan gibson - Lead O/S - 27/Nov/12 with julie carroll

Had seen some people on it earlier so knew how to do the final crux. Thought this was my first 7a flash but since discovered the 2010 guide has downgraded it to 6c+ :(

Stopped by the crux right at the top.
DavidR - Lead dog - 19/Sep/12 with Holly Adamthwaite

6c+ in book but harder than Dionysos I think, 7a seems right. May just be due to poor warm-up though.
