Start just left of Cubase. Climb direct to join the right hand side of the Dr Gonzo roof crack; pull around the roof and traverse leftwards on dwindling footholds to reach a good undercut then climb the overhanging prow above to a lower off. Superb and probably one of the best routes at Dinbren!

Tim Broughtonshaw - Lead RP - 06/Aug/11 with Ian Patterson

Bolt toBolt then 2nd redpoint. Psyched. No flash but happy with quick ascent. Benchmark 7b+ and pretty cool.
Ed Booth - Lead RP - 25/Apr/11

probably 7b+? very good. 1st go (TR): struggled with crack, bit grotty. 2nd go: negotiated crack on 3rd try, 2 rests to get to top. 3rd go: tired, 3 rests.
ksjs - Lead dog - 24/Jun/10 with dave

Entry level 7c but harder than Bandits and IPJF. Similar overall difficulty to Dyperspace but very different style. Brilliant positions, well bolted, clean and finger friendly - get on it!!

Hidden - Lead RP - 12/May/10

Hidden - Lead β - 11/May/10

Hidden - Lead RP - 09/May/10

Excellent route with a sustained and pumpy finish. Felt every bit 7c.
andy farnell - Lead RP - 03/May/10 with Ian Patterson

The general consensus is 7b+ and not 7c, either way its a great route!
