[Tim Styles on Jiggery Pokery (VS 5a), Fairy Cave Quarry, 2 kb]22m. Start just right of the crack of Caveman and boldly climb the gnarled slab to the ramp and runners. Continue in the same line across the crack of Lunar Landscape, and make thin, bold moves to gain horizontal cracks. Continue more easily, but on increasingly vegetated graound, to saplings.

With the Caveman start, and gear in situ.

Start is hard VS, after some gear is in its ok. Not sure if I was on route for the top half, the line is not too obvious. Fun nevertheless.

Actually did the first part of Caveman up the crack by accident. Attempted to lead but didn't get to the first ledge so Hannah lead it. Cloudy and started to drizzle a little bit.

DreadyCraig - 2nd O/S - 14/Aug/11 with Ivan B

Crux sequence moving up from the lunar landscape fault (through blankish section just below and right of the little sapling at two thirds height) is tricky and run out (I placed a side runner in what I think is the upper crack of Caveman, but was still facing a sizable pendulum slither) nearly came off when I committed to a move to an unexpectedly poor crimp. The hardest VS I've done at Fairy Cave, quite a bold start too. Good route though.

To check the line and measure the route. The logical line is to leave good holds and make a tricky 5a sequence diagonally left then up to the ledge. Top end VS 5a.

New description needed. Bold at start, and hard and bold leftwards crux to reach runnel.
