nice easy route.
Ed morris - 2nd O/S - 14/May/08 with carwen

Did the direct route (VS 4b). Had a look, went down, then decided to go for it. But wasn't sure whether I was meant to top out on the first ledge I came to or the second, slightly higher one.

Caralynh - Lead O/S - 19/Aug/07 with Jez Hadall

Soloed this twice. Once after popping down to collect the guidebook I'd left at the base, and once when the very ends of the ab rope had got jammed in cracks and needed freeing.

Escaping from rain
dpmUK - TR O/S - 11/Aug/07

Escaped up this in the rain after abbing down to retrieve someone else's stuck gear on a different route. Nice route, probably better if it's dry!
