Butch stuff, and a touch reachy with it. Start at a small corner 3m right of the large block. 17m. The overhanging, narrow corner is followed to a good break and a move left, from where a long, powerful move accesses still steep ground, though with more positive holds. © ROCKFAX
Start up a left facing corner and use its right arete to reach a break. step left and make powerful moves through the bulge above on layaways, eventually reaching finger-jugs and an easier finish

Glad to have finally climbed this. It was a funny route for me as I find the crux on this as hard as the crux on brean topping, although the hard section is a lot more short lived!

tough gaston move
James Marshall - Lead RP - 23/Jul/11 with rich hard rock

Hidden - Lead β - 27/Mar/11

The left hand side pull setting up for the crux has come off recently making this a lot harder. Now definitely solid 7c.

F6c to a stopper move, then F7a to the top.
Paul Robertson - Lead dog - 08/Apr/10 with John Warner

Compared to other routes here there is no way this is 7c. Soft 7b/7b+. One fairly hard move thats a bit on off. The rest is a path. Nice enough but not 2 stars. Big loose jug at the top which is best too avoid, and only one bolt to lower off on, (and a hole where presumably the other on used to be).

_m.cox_ - Lead RP - Jan/09 with Robyn Nelson

The good left hand side pull that you use to set up for the move to the next left hand side pull has broken off. This is now a pretty hard move. The route is probably now very bouldery 7c+

Paul Robertson - Lead dnf - 15/Jul/08 with Paz

Thankfully I wasn't too tired from Bourton the previous night and it just needed finishing off. I'd say it's 7b+ but I want the tick and tell myself it's unusual for 7b+s to take me longer than 2 days.
Paz - Lead RP - 18/Jun/06 with PS

Started off the day not being able to dog the crux (aided it to put clips in) then with a bit of thought (and chalk) was falling off easy ground (again) above the crux -reach-(!), going for the redpoint. I pulled the top jug off, but I think it's actually easier without it.
Paz - Lead dog - 16/Jun/06 with AB

Was very annoyed after falling off trying to jump/swap my feet, immediately after the crux slap.
