Hidden - 13/May/12

Hard 5+! Took me so long it was dark by the time I finished so no time for anyone else to try it. Much longer than the 36m stated - our 70m rope was a good 10 metres too short for the lower off.
Toreador - Lead rpt - 25/Mar/12

Only climbed up to stance at 14m. It's a bit scrappy up to that point.

Prob best done as 2 pitches as the rope drag gets unpleasant otherwise. 70m rope needed to lower off in one.
Fiona Reid - Lead - 12/Nov/10 with Mike

Up to 1st lower off.

did it in two pitchs and lead the first
konna - AltLd O/S - 25/Mar/09 with John Roe

In one pitch (just) with a 70m rope - knot the end! We thought it 5+ and worth three stars. Deserves a better lower-off.

Had meant to lead it, but ended up seconding it so that Nick could get back to the ground. And then the heavens opened. And then the rope got stuck. But still a very nice climb - must go back and do it in the dry sometime
Chris the Tall - 2nd - 12/Feb/08 with Nick Smith

Led as a single pitch, but then realised that I couldn't be lowered to the ground on a 60m rope... but only after we ran out of rope about 8m off the deck ;& Cue amusing scene of Chris starting to second the route, while being pulled upwards by my dead weight! Some tricky slab moves - felt undergraded at only F5.
