yatess79 - 2nd O/S - 02/Jul/10

Climbed the starrt of the last pitch of A climb to place a runner under the roof - without this a slip from the chipped slab would be extremely serious! Even with the runner it's P3 rather than P2. And probably closer to VS 4b than HS 4a. Good though!
Toreador - Lead O/S - 29/Jun/10 with Carmen

Will Hunt - Lead O/S - 20/Sep/09 with Sean Jacobs

Used this as an alternative finish to A Climb. Very exposed with a big swing if you come off. Easy finish though. Great combo of routes for first attempt on grit at Ilkley.
