I flailed on this for far too many hours... In the end a couple of weeks off climbing had taken their toll.

First route of the day after Chris's epic on Levitation direct.Couldn't get to the top jug on my first attempt. Sent it clean afterwards.
francois - Lead RP - 14/Jun/11 with Chris

Almost lead this clean, but fell after grabbing the wrong jug once getting around the overhang. Francois managed to lead it (worked), then I seconded. Fun, burly first move which is well protected.

clean, but with protection already established under the o'hang
thomb - Lead - 06/Apr/11 with David Coley

Got tired placing gear, got over the steep moves but couldn't figure out the move above.

Previously seconded Nick in '85. Fixing the gear is hard work but once done the climbing probably is only E1 5B. A retro onsight.

JPGR - Lead O/S - Jun/09 with Yvette

Tried at the end of the day...maybe not a good idea. Fell off on overhang. Struggled to get lanky legs above roof...very powerful. I will be back. Excellent gear though.
Mr Tickle - Lead dnf - 06/Dec/08 with davenev

Lovely knee jam - just couldn't reach and wasn't strong enough. Great fun though - we'll be back
