Nice top half

Second pitch is really good (we did the climb in just one pitch, which is easily possible).

Done in one pitch, which created enough drag to lift out some of my gear towards the top (for added spice). Very nice climbing on the headwall, although I am not convinced I followed the correct line. I assumed the top belay was the ash tree - I only noticed the hawthorn off to the right when I was at the top - and I had to climb rightwards up a slab to the start of a diagonal crack all the way to get to the obvious vertical crack. Some of the blocks in the top crack are not particularly permanent - I could feel the crag below my feet vibrate when my second was taking out gear several metres below!

The Pylon King - Lead rpt - 12/Aug/12 with Rob and Jack
Was getting dark and Rob said he would give me £10 if I was able to second this in under 4 minutes so after a ready set go I was off, unfortunately my speed attempt was stopped after reaching a stuck wire at 2/3 height.

This felt more like VS,4c. The top section is not that difficult, it's short lived, and with bomber gear placements.

Led P1, which was a bit loose and flaky. P2 is short, but well positioned and with a few nice moves. Probably easier than Rob's Crack.

How does this get an HVS grade? Easy slab past the trees is S at best, only the short upper wall presents a challenge, and it's very well protected, very short, impossible to go off route, at best three or four moves and you're there. Compared with HVSs like Desecrator and Hell Gates at Avon and Thor at Cheddar this one probably barely merits an HS.
