Glad to get this after falling off it last year.
colesy - Lead rpt - 31/Mar/13 with Sasha Coombes

not amazing, but a good route, went up and left a bit early on some slopey undercuts which felt a bit bold.

Totally frigged
theotherpetehill - 2nd dog - 14/Jul/12 with Ross McKerchar

Quite hard to convey how pumped I got on this. Clawed my way up, placing terrible gear (luckily the insitu stuff was generally sufficient). I could barely even open crabs to clip by the end.

fell off the day before.

Hard work! Was trashed after the crux and had to 'rest' on the holds by the pegs for ages to get anything back, just managed it. Could have been really tired I guess...

Luke Brooks - Lead O/S - 27/Jun/11 with Glyn Hudson, Barni

A stellar sprint. Abbed in down the line unintentionally (thought i would be further right) but in retrospect it made it all the more satisfying as i had a vague idea of what was coming and new the insitu stuff was in good nick. Awesome fun and probably one of my best performances to date. Good second chris.
Alex Mason - Lead β - 23/Jun/11 with Tommy Cole, Chris Carroll

Toby Dunn - 2nd - 23/Apr/11 with Andy Reeve

drank a a load of coke just before starting, got really psyched up and crushed it with out even getting pumped, then seconded it, hard second time roud
mwatson - Lead O/S - 2011 with thomasadixon

I was depressingly close to onsighting this. I spent too long putting gear in between the peg and the thread but went for it and ended up staring at the thread without being able to move or to clip it. It was a fun fall as I wasn't sure if my gear would hold. Thankfully it did as otherwise it would have been an enormous lob. Lowered down, pulled the ropes and did it next go.
