[A Sense of Doubt, 2 kb]18m. Good pegs allow the climbing on this impressive wall to be savoured without the seriousness of the next two routes. The crux is easier for the tall. © ROCKFAX
Well pegged, practically a sport route - F6c+

the only peg that is decent is the last one but on the positive side there are quite a few of them... so defiantly didn't feel like a sport route to me. but the climbing is really steady with good holds never too far away making you feel mostly secure when on it. it was good sustained climbing and felt around 6b/+ to put a sport grade on it never 6c+. nothing harder than British 6a on it. top route ***

Tricky to read - hard work all done by Kev on the onsight. E3 6a probably fair for the over-6ft, but E4 6b should still be the guidebook grade.

Quality route! Ive got to get back and lead this.
MarkRoe - 2nd O/S - 05/Oct/11 with Woody

Good climbing, but only 6b/+. Never the 6c+ folks suggest.
