Bristoldave - Lead O/S - 20/Aug/11 with Pete Polish

Not a great line, but the high first bolt gives it enough interest to make it worthwhile. That, and being belayed on a half rope by a well-meaning italian who didn't understand that the manual locking design of my belay plate meant he had to keep his hands on it...

Nice moves but the route doesn't really flow. The start is pretty bold. The run out section higher up doesn't really matter as you are on very easy ground. No way 6c+.

Blew the onsight a couple of weeks ago at the second bolt - came back to finish the job. Bit bold between 3rd & 4th bolts and the rock is loose there in places...

got clean on second attempt after dialling when to stay on the left and when to slink off to the right
