Ace another great route. Had perfect finger locks and wires low down then ran it out a bit but the holds keep coming. Solid E1 5b** stuff as per Over the Moors and latest Rockfax.

Good lead by Andy, looked pretty pumped and knackered towards the top. Packs a fair bit in, albeit on good locks.

Ran out quite far above a single small cam for the sake of success. It was a good cam though. The holds kept coming, hands and feet. Bit green and mucky at top.
