Sandy but actually quite pleasant climbing.
Dan Lane - Lead O/S - 22/Jun/12 with Luke Donaldson

Completely caked in sand / mud. Climbed the route when should have probably been sat back in John's van given the rain and the huge waves. Pretty exciting though

Hardest VS I can remember. Don't know whether it was just down to the horrendous amount of dirt, dust and polish. Assides from that it's not actually bad climbing.

Not that bad a climb enjoyed it on a nice dry sunny day. Dont expect it to be walk over though due to the polish on obvious holds but you dont have to use them.
