[Dollywagon Conditions 13 Feb 2010, 2 kb]50m. Climbs the obvious big groove line. Well frozen turf recommend unless you want to be rescued. Start from a block belay and climb turf in the back of the groove to a where it steepens. Crucial nut low on the left wall. Tricky moves round the bulge to a ledge then another awkward section past a hanging flake to the top. © ROCKFAX

good little route, turf semi frozen but could have been better. Doug took a 20ft whipper off the crux, good effort mate!

Martin Haworth - 2nd - 19/Dec/10 with Andy

Very delicate crux. I finished by a long runout on frozen turf rather tha keeping to the rather bare looking groove on the left...was I cheating?!
Andrew Sloan - Lead O/S - 19/Dec/10

Good condition, still few bits of turf not completely frozen but mostly solid. Ace route
