Both 4b pitches tough for the grade. I backed off leading the first pitch. Descended by the gulley rather than ab off as routes were busy.
Ann S - 2nd - 06/Jun/13 with Simon Cahill
Led P2. I'd forgotten how tremendous the move out onto the rib is. Great evening
fizzychewitt - AltLd - 06/Jun/13 with Jayne
All pitches hard for grade. 2nd pitch requires small nuts as recommended in the guide but also a micro cam is worth it's weight in gold! Crux on Pt3 is very hard but well protected with small cams.

Mark was looking for MIA ticks so P2 was always going to be his, i let him have P1 as well; glad I did, felt the hardest to me, steep! I led P3 (4b) which had me giggling merrily away as I worked it out. Mark led P4 to finish easily (should maybe have just ran together) then a nice chat with 2 dundee ladies at the ab tree

Led P2 then abbed off 'in situ' slings/maillon. Rope got stuck (!) and was freed by Haydn who was abbing off from the top - fortunate for us! The final few cm of the pulled rope had flicked into a perfect fig-of-8 around itself beneath the maillon. Tremendous, delicate, bold climbing on P2 (love the photo by Jim Fogg - could have been my van in the layby).

Caralynh - AltLd - 20/May/07 with cider nut
excellent route. Ran pitch 1 & 2 together; the 'rib' (arete) is lovely, exposed and delicate. Brought up Jon and Tony, coffee on the ledge enjoying the sun. then lead pitches 3, 4 and half of pitch 5 (as described in old Paul williams 'beris Guide) together as one, up to oak. Jon then scrambled to top and we walked off. superb.
