Intended to do leg slip, but we didn't read the guidebook properly and did this instead. (It said it takes the obvious groove left of first slip...we didn't read it to see it says the obvious groove higher up the cliff, but sharing the same start as first slip!) I watched Brad struggle up the first pitch thinking he was making it look hard for 5a. When he was at the top I had a proper look at the guidebook and saw he's just done the venom groove. It was quite a brutal warm up on the calves, with one particularly hard move. Even at the top of the pitch Brad thought he'd just done the biggest sandbag 5a ever till I told him it was 6a! Decided we might as well finish the route off after we'd done the first pitch.

Bt accident, thought it was the first pitch of Leg Slip. Thought this is hard for 5a, turned out it was 6a.

Lead p1. Hard technical climbing but very well protected, just keep on trucking! P3 is also great! Well worth doing.

Just first pitch, if the groove was a bit longer it would be a 3* classic, but still technical and 'pressy' as grooves get, awesome!

Chris led the first pitch. I did the hard move first try but injured a finger on it (tendon). There is a sustained section above the crux. Luckily the rest of the route is a breeze.
