Hidden - 2013

Onsight attempt, three falls then got it ground up with Will's beta for the crux and wIth gear In place. Awesome moves.
Glyn - Lead RP - 27/Jul/12 with Will Oates

Wasn't going to get on this for ages but did after Glyn fell off so did it on his gear up to the top of the pillars. thought the description was a bit off. getting wrong handed on the pillars was a bit of a mistake, but will definitely do it again next time i go to the Grochan.
willoates - Lead β - 26/Jul/12 with Glyn

Took the lob from the crux, awesome! Then abbed down it to have a quick look at the holds. Did it next go, so easy when you know what you're doing.

Hidden - Lead O/S - 12/Jun/10

I got my feet above the 'the runner'. There is more gear than it looks like.

ACE. WOuld like to lead some day.....
Andrew.Davies - 2nd dog - 28/May/10 with Alex

Found it really hard and scary to get 'the bomber runners' in. Only felt E5 6a (bar move off the deck). Hung around for ages, being intimidated by the routes reputation. What an awesome pitch, proper moves. E5.7/f7a
Alex Mason - Lead β - 28/May/10 with Laura Perry, Mikey G

Sam W - 2nd dog - 02/May/10 with Sam Ring

4 star!! Ground up 3rd try, placing gear on lead. Feels really cool to be doing proper difficult moves on trad gear, maybe F7a/+?
Mike Goldthorp - Lead RP - 12/Feb/10 with Ben Alsford

Brilliant route.
