[Binky zipping up Cool for Cats, Stennis Head., 2 kb]

Another excellent route. Start as for Manzoku but make an extra move right on the traverse from the cave. Pull up onto good holds and continue direct above. Trend slightly leftwards into a groove which leads easily to the top. © ROCKFAX

Dan Lane - Lead O/S - 30/Mar/13 with David Kirsfelds

My partner got pumped and bailed just before the final easy bit. Its a good route but tiring and fairly strenuous in the lower half.

mrtom - 2nd O/S - 05/May/08 with Mike Stephenson

First E1 of the year, the first hard move out right and up felt bold, there were more like it that required faith in finding a good hand hold after moving up which was usually forthcoming but not always. Quite sustained climbing mostly with reasonable stances but not always, which required composure to put in the gear, shake out and get moving again. Put in 15 pieces of gear. Great exposure, solid consistent climbing and a good line earns its three stars.
