Lee Groves - Lead O/S - 28/May/12 with Amy Ack

Led both pitches same day as Yogi. Bottom section protected by RPs and thin wires - a first time VS leader might find it interesting. Top pitch by crystal crack is delightful.

Barely even VS, more like HS4b. No idea how this gets HVS on here.
groovy_nut - AltLd O/S - 29/Jul/10 with Matt K

I led wet first pitch, tree comes in handy. Dried finishing holds with chalk ball! Top of 2nd pitch is the crux.
pastep - AltLd - 17/Jul/10 with Mick, ebf

Hidden - Lead O/S - 12/Jun/10
