Start on a boulder at the base of a low, left-trending crack in the centre of the wall. 30m. Follow the crack left to its end and move up to a narrow ledge. Climb the slim corner above and traverse left to the base of a small staggered corner. Follow the technical corner and steep flake above to a final short wall and the top. © ROCKFAX

An inauspicious start to my trad season. Didn't find the alleged crux too bad, but lost the plot on the upper wall.

Slipped off at about 10' hit the ground on the stretch, badly brused bum on a boulder! (Got back on and did it>)

Good hungover lead by Emily and a great little route, worth two or three stars though not particularly sustained, weird to do a smeary, balancy crux on a steep wall!
Chad123 - AltLd O/S - 14/Aug/10 with Ben, Emily

Brilliant climbing, exciting even as second. Very well protected with a great crux which felt softish for 5c. Took one rest on the rope after the crux moves due to serious pump. Very impressive lead from Max.
lrandall - 2nd - 14/Aug/10 with Max Adamson

Pleased with this, was a bit go-ey for a few moves.

Fought through the pump. Great climb. Also followed Ken 10/11/11 on an excellent superdirect finish which might push the grade to E3. I think most people slope off rightwards at the top.
