Slick but very good. Climb the crack to the ledge on the right at 3m. Teeter up into the base of the groove above. Climb to the prow where easier climbing accesses the finish of Barn Owl Crack. © ROCKFAX

Fantastic, really enjoyed this one
Chris Joyce - Lead O/S - 13/May/13 with Simon Thursz

Anchor and belayer were at top. A lot of the foot holds are very polished and slippery. Great climb for a novice climber like myself.

Started on Twang (E1) next door but some confusion got me onto Reek and finishing here. Was a fun climb.

Great route, nice combination of precise work and stronger moves. Not sure if I'm able to pull harder this summer, or have just learned not to need to! A bit unstable stepping around the nose, asked for a tight rope then realised that wasn't helpful in this case as it would just have pulled me off!
