24m. The front face of the lower buttress is balancy, reachy and green. It feels bold despite the runners in the break and a long reach is a great asset. A great effort for its day. © ROCKFAX

What a fantastic climb, and right at the end of the day. Easier for those with the reach.

Mungo took the E1 pitch, I took the V-Diff. It was heart breaking though all the chizzled holds, could have been a great HVS otherwise, but what can you do.

Moves from the block were a little scary, and the top half (i.e. the VDiff bit!) was absolutely superb. Low in the grade but still just about E1. Nearly had an epic as I dropped the lapped ropes in to the crack when second topped out, doh!
Byronius Maximus - Lead O/S - 04/Jun/09 with Guy Wilson

Took a while to move off the ledge - getting off the ground was tough too! Good fun though and nice climbing to the top.
