All the strenuous climbing that you would expect on Geireagle seems to have been transferred to this one. Very pumpy! 38m. Start as for Geireagle, but step up onto the rising line to gain the higher crack. Climb this, past the triangular niche, to join and finish up Geireagle. © ROCKFAX

Fook! Fell getting into the niche first time up, then lowered to geireagle ramp (hands off rest) and tried to sort of ground-up it out. Got into the niche and up to having hands on geireagle's ledge but it is not piss to get onto it, fell again, got back to my gear and did to the top. Gutted I didn't get it clean but not bad for 3rd trad route of the year. Hard E4 despite having probably only 12 metres of E4 climbing!

Nails! The 6a crux (entering the pod) is hard to read and very strenuous, comes after quite a few 5b/5c moves. Leaving the pod also involves a couple of hard moves. Haven't been so pumped for quite a while!

Alex Mason - Lead O/S - 10/Feb/10 with Mikey G, James Grey

had to sit on the rope a lot to work out the move,found it very hard compared to cream and void
barni - Lead dog - 23/Oct/09 with Liam fleming

1 fall at crux - just didnt pull up far enough to gain pinch. like to think i would have been thinking more ahead if leading. very burly, very good and seemed tough E4

2 sits. Not sure if I would have pulled it off if had just tried to pull through but had poor sequence for crux and got intimidated and took a sit which led to another. Still found the top shared with Geireagle hard and pumpy.
