Hidden - Lead - 16/Apr/13

A great climb and makes a good highball, the last move is committing but reasonably safe-ish.... bring a spotter (also its reasonably easy to not use the tree's)
OliBangbala - Sent O/S - 14/Apr/13

Not sure but possibly soloed this a couple of years ago. Nice move to reach the finishing ledge.

gavinpeach - Lead O/S - 13/May/12 with Liam Talbot

Actually quite enjoyed this one. Fell when I went for the crux as I didn't hit the ledge with my right hand. Got it on the second attempt.
talbot_60 - 2nd dog - 13/May/12 with Gavin Peach

James Oakes - Solo O/S - 21/Feb/12

Nice climb, all revolves around the right heel towards the top and trusting it to the gain the top jug with right hand.
