Couldn't follow the original line due to wetness, had to trend left via a break in the rock below the bubbly slab. Ended up desperately digging for protection, hammering in 2 micros followed by 4c-ish balancy climbing on barely adequate holds 4m higher. Involuntary variation was HVS for sure, a fall would have had serious consequences. Had to ab off the shallow spike on the belay as night approached.

JN showed me a nifty appproach to the crag - under Sub Cneifion Rib and then scramble up Seniors Ridge. From the shoulder before the final section of Seniors Ridge, you can scramble diagonally down, aiming for a prominent sloping white queartz slab. From there you can work your way round to the foot of the routes. JN soloed p1, I took a more measured approach by opting to lead p2 with a rope. I found it tough perhaps because I was under the misapprehension that I was on Grey Arete!
Pete Nugent - AltLd rpt - 22/Apr/11 with John Nuttall

Superb climbing, not a lot of gear but great fun running it out. The last pitch of an awesome day of 350m of good climbing.

Easy climbing but run out massively for the grade. Had E2's with more gear...
beds74 - 10/Apr/10 with Jon Peffer

Classic. What a second pitch: there's bold and then there's BOLD! Even the classic spike runner wobbles (I had little faith in it). But what a pitch!!! Very technical - only 4b? I think I did several 4c moves. It's one for brave slabheads rather than a chimney sweep like me. Almost as hard as Great Gully! - and that is saying something!
jimorothy - AltLd - 24/Sep/09 with Rachel Crolla

having completed tennis shoe, lazarus and groove above, confidence was high or maybe to high! pitch 1 seemed fairly straight forward, needed lots of thought. pitch 2 on the other hand! hmm! wasnt a happy bunny at all. VS 4b maybe just a little to far for someone with my experience. i really didnt enjoy pitch 2 ! however i did make it up ! still a great days climbing! brilliant in fact...... need more now.. the days of Diff's and VDiff's are a thing of the past now. funny how there's no photos of climbers on this crag, its a bloody nightmare! and I loved it
snakes77 - 2nd O/S - 18/Sep/09 with Monkey1

What can I say about this, truly fantastic end to the best days climbing I can remember. Tennis shoe, lazarus, Groove above, Grey Slab. First VS multi pitch lead, absolutely buzzing! Some serious moments but felt under control throughout. Delicate friction climbing in parts, spaced and poor gear, not the best belays, but immensley satisfying. Split the 2nd pitch into 2 using an in-situ thread belay in the grassy groove 15m up from the end of pitch 1. This helped!
