Finally plucked up the courage to try this after staring at it for about a year now! Fantastic climb, and not as 'ard as she looks. Spent five minutes back on the pedestal after faffing with a sling, before powering through the roof without too much over-thinking!!! JUST DO IT :)

Big cam held, then ripped! Fell as far as the ledge, then got back on and completed the route clean. Good to finish it as I am crap at roofs! Want to do it again soon!

didn't like the jam, placed the hex and downclimbed, bailed after i fell downclimbing a second time. getting the gear back was interesting
Chris Redding - Lead dnf - 12/Nov/11
Mike led to the Pedestal. I led the roof. After many years of waiting, this superb climb did not disappoint. The shake-outs at the Cheeseblock and the big flake to its right were much better than expected leaving me fresh for the crux. The holds were big and positive. The main challenge was to choose a successful sequence from the many permutations available. The option I selected involved no jamming whatsoever by moving left a little along the lip flake (after inserting the obligatory Hex) and then a long reach with the right hand up to a juggy ledge.
Celebrated sitting on the mat in the late afternoon sun eating Sushi and drinking Mike's real coffee. Perfect!

James Oswald - Lead O/S - 26/Oct/11 with Jon Stewart
The crux of this route is definitely the psychological challenge of committing to the roof! once committed it's just fun all the way! Definitely ok to do as one pitch, barely noticed any drag but that was without placing any gear up to the pedestal. Anything before there would have to be well extended I think. Great route, well worth its reputation.

A good climb to warm up on... NOT! I found the roof more intimidating to look at from the ledge than to climb. A cheeky rest on the rope did not take anything away for me. Got the jam which is excellent!
Jon Dittman - Lead - 23/May/10
Took a fall unable to get the jam to stick after turning the lip. Bomber hex in place though so fall was uneventful. Glad to get on and have a go though, I'd looked up at this route on my previous two visits and thought better of it.

Absolutely awesome! Forgot to take a long sling, so placed a nut. I got tired in the process and so climbed down to the ledge to have a rest to recover. The strategy worked well -- well, for me at least, while Tony experienced a nightmare to retrieve the nut. Sorry!

Quick dash to the Roaches after work - rewarded with a class climb ! Quite strenuous over the overhang (which is the move on the climb rest is easy) >90 degree bodyposition while heel hooking is not usual HVS fayre anywhere apart from grit (!) though Simon seemed to manage to do by jamming rather than hanging - grit monkey !

Into the overhang with great protection below me with a sling and a runner ... making good into the upper crack when feet cut loose - no option but to spot for a landing and let go as no amount of flailing was going to help find some footing. The slab below hyperextended my foot as I landed, and I limped off thoroughly gutted I had had to bail. A long walk to the car (ouch that really did hurt) and a visit to A&E the following day confirmed the worse! Still crutches are good for upper body strength, right?

An impressive climb that captures the imagination. Definitely not your average HVS, although it is friendly. Should be in the top 50 climbs. Relatively easy moves through the roof. The big question is whether you protect the roof, with potential to pump out placing gear, or risk a nasty fall. I didn't, and conquered.

I fell off the top move, 10 metres to slam into the slab below. Broke my heel, but not my resolve, and haven't been able to climb for a while now, but soon I hope! At least my pro held...I will be back

surprisingly i don't remember much from this climb. It was my first route at the roaches. Remember being daunted under the roof but it went surprisingly easily considering 'i can't hardly climb'.

What a superb route :) I made the mistake of waiting until I could lead E2 before I finally got on it, which did spoil it a bit. If I'd climbed it as an aspiring HVS leader then it probably would have scared the daylights out of me!

Snow on the ground and -5, but I was determined to do the route.As I started up someone mentioned that a Friend 2 1/2 fitted perfectly in the slot. It didn't, so I wasted time & strength. My tape over the block slipped off as I reached the lip and then my foot slipped, so I was hanging from one hand. Shouted for a mate to get a photo then finished the route. Belayer too cold to follow!
