Caroline led P1 (5b traverse to flake), 3, 5, 7. I led P2 (up from flake onto slab), 4 (crux - entertaining), 6. Dry, excellent climbing, pretty sustained on the '5a' pitches I thought

Quite a serious first pitch which is probably the crux. The 5c pitch didn't seem bold, but when I reached the crack it was wet which added to the excitement.
Martin Haworth - AltLd O/S - 11/Aug/12 with Andy
Did as 5 pitches (linked 1st 2 together). I climbed the 2 long 5a slab piches either side of the 5c pitch.Seconding the initial traverse on pitch 1 was serious and very scarey. We had a bit of a route finding issue at the top of pitch 2; the Clogwyn guide has a very poor desciption saying to go into Gecko groove for a metre or 2.....you need to climb 5m up this groove to bypass a very difficult bit of the slab. All in all a fantastic route. The 5c crux is ok and there is no need to lasso the spike.

Lead P1,P3,P5&6. amazing route P1 traverse is comitting and bold straight from the start, 2nd pitch is great slab climbing, P3 lassoo was difficult to lassoo so just climbed it which was less bold than I initially thought due to there being a massive letterbox foothold halfway across the traverse which i only noticed when i got to it, next 2 pitches are steady but great exposure and situation to be in so still really enjoyable, last pitch is fairly bold on questionable rock but no real problem.

Led 1st (which was terrifying, if not that hard, crux of route imo), 3rd and 5th + 6th pitches in one. First route on Cloggy.
thomasadixon - AltLd O/S - 12/Jul/11 with Mike
Finally made it to Cloggy! Seconding traverse on pitch 1 was very dodgy, didn't want to take the gear out, but then it fell out so that was sorted! Amazing positions on the slabs above, right on the edge with the cliff just falling away beneath. Lassoing the spike on the crux pitch seemed unlikely, didn't even bother trying. Only a couple of 5c moves, but potential for a huge swinging lob! Top pitch unnervingly loose, need to be in a soloing mentality! Adventure!

lukehodson - AltLd O/S - 29/Apr/11 with Ben Jones, Al Benson
we made a bit of a mess of this (6 hours) due to route finding and general fannying around. Totally freezing too. the crux move on pitch 4 felt doable but horribly commiting, backed off and seconded it instead. pitch 5 is one of the best E1 5a pitches I have ever done - just perfect and it lead to a massive belay ledge - better than the hanging belay at the top of the previous pitch. Epic Cloggy Adventure

Hidden - AltLd O/S - 25/Apr/11
missed out on the last pitch as just gunned for the top (and some sun) in a oner from the start of the easy pitch 5 without checking where to go properly - too late and too cold. crux felt quite hard with leaden fingers and toes - not doing stuff like this on cloggy again 'till it's red hot!
Belier - AltLd O/S - 25/Apr/11 with Guy
lead pitch 2 and 4. first move on pitch 1 is terrying on second. crux pitch is a great slab move to karate chop safety jam, where is this spike!?

Great day out, but turned into a typical Clarke-Gray epic when I totally failed to lassoo spike. Eventually swopped places with Rob, who managed it 2nd or 3rd try. Unfortunately, didn't realise rope had actually jammed behind spike - all became clear when it unjammed as he attempted to swing across, resulting in inpressive unplanned plummet! Followed crux P3 clean - must come back and lead at some point. Gorgeous slab climbing on Ps 2&4. Led Ps 1,4,6.

Done first time in 83 when the peg on first pitch was in good order. Last done 2003. The peg had rusted out making the intitial travers that bit more interesting. Thin move with a thin wire for pro with a nasty potential landing. After the climbing does not deserve E2 unless you miss out the lassoo. The traverse to the lassoo spike is not too hard if slab climbing is your thing. If it isn't, lassoo (gather a big load of rope and lob it at the spike then take in gently. If you try to lassoo it like a cowboy you'll be there all day) the spike then get your second to pay out one rope while taking in the one round the spike and do the traverse. See, not that hard was it. Anyway, the two higher slab pitches are some of the finest most exposed such pitches anywhere at about 5a/b. The top pitch is more grunty but juggy. It is an absolute classic and especially entertaining if climbed as a party of three.
