[Slab padding on Entropy's Jaw, 2 kb]8m. Start up Wild Thing but follow the impossibly-thin seam up the smooth slab to the right. Good but hard-earned small wires protect; they have been tested but this definitely isn't to be recommended. © ROCKFAX

Fell on onsight go onto wire which i didn't believe in, it stuck. Messed up second time round, did it third go after reaching down and placing better wire from top. Brilliant climbing, thanks for the spot and belay guys.

Amazing climb, so so good. 4 pads, took the fall from where my fingers were 1cm from the top and skidded down the slab but it was fine. 4th or 5th go, just a amazing route.

initially bouldered up and did a couple of controlled jump offs - one from quite high where I realised how good the small wire placement is (which made me inclined to use it). Placed the wire from reaching down from the top, then sketched it out first go with a rope on after that. Class micro route, brilliant fun.

easy fall but a scary proposition, will be back with more pads or a wire to lead
