[Crispin on More Steam, 3 kb]17m. Great climbing up the thin, technical, orange-streaked wall. The first 8m is the crux, above the wall is steeper but with much better holds. © ROCKFAX

Dan 85 - Lead RP - 06/May/13 with Sam, Andy H

proper good more people should climb these routes
Luke Dawson - Lead O/S - 27/Apr/13

Brief play on the crux moves then led first go. The rock quality at the top is amazing!
Ed morris - Lead RP - 20/Apr/13 with Colin

once a good crux sequence was found it went easily today.
misterb - Lead rpt - 17/Jan/13 with nick

2nd go. Could really do with another bolt or three. Enjoyed the moves. Good idea to extend 2nd bolt, to avoid decking potential.

Laurence Everitt - TR dog - 18/Nov/12 with Ross Cooper

2nd go in the dark

Bristoldave - Lead RP - 20/Aug/11 with Pete Polish

Just climbed to the 2nd bolt, might have been weighting the rope a bit on the crux move

Blew the on sight by missing a foothold! only 1 short hard section followed by no hands rest and a steep wall on good holds
Billg - Lead RP - 28/Jun/09 with James Kauntze

A wonderful surprise to get this. Made up for getting burnt off on Empire by burning off the other lads on a hideous slab move (you don't have to hang around on and lock off the tweaky LH crimp if you get a high R foot and gaston/ lay away a seam.
Paz - Lead RP - 22/Sep/08 with AB, MT, EB

Probably not -too- bad but horrible in the heat.

I amazed myself by pulling the crux moves onsight in 86 -- the route was called Torquey back then and didn't have a finish. Seconded the more steam finish in 2008 -- a 22yr project lol. A revisit 30/11/2009 and I dogged through the crux on top rope -- not as hard as I thought. Will be a sketchy lead though!
