Easterly wind, biting cold interesting route, felt harder than Severe. followed by Liverbird Buttress
Mayaculpa - 2nd - 25/Mar/13 with Pete

Nice well-protected crux, not a lot of good gear and some (but not too much) vegetation otherwise. HS 4a at least... Reasonable adventure-route, definitely not worth a star imo though.

rg1976 - 2nd O/S - 25/Jul/12 with squicky

Flat and not a lot of pro to begin with but then got a bit more interesting later on.

Staffmeister - Lead rpt - 25/Jun/12 with George Frisby

Harder than S, and not as good as I remember. Just wanted to squeeze in some extra ticks in the fading light to round off the best day of the year so far.
Stanners - Lead rpt - 10/Mar/12 with James Rich, Jack Bradbrook

Not a brilliant route but at least we got some extra climbing done in a beautiful evening.
JamesRich - 2nd O/S - 10/Mar/12 with Rob stanfield, Jack Bradbrook

Trying to climb this in converse is fairly difficult since they have no traction at all so smearing is completely off limits, luckily there's a few edges and things that I was still able to utilise.

Good climb shame about the vegetation at the end however
Quarryboy - Lead O/S - 28/Aug/10 with Rob Stanfield, David Bradbrook

Great route but due to the road opposite, communication is made difficult.

Vertigo1 - Lead O/S - 10/Mar/10 with "Brosky"

Hidden - AltLd O/S - 2010

After a 3 week layoff decided to go for something gentle! First pitch is tiny but has no relavent gear and is pushing HS, with both having challenging enough cruxes to be 4a. Trouble is the whole climb would represent poor value at HS. The "Large Ash Tree" has been somewhat delargified of late.
PaulWatson - AltLd O/S - 27/Jul/09 with Dan

Hidden - Lead rpt - 08/Jul/09

Rich lead the 1st pitch, I lead the 2nd. Felt jolly scary with some very run out parts, not an enjoyable route.

Andy White - Lead O/S - 09/May/09 with Anna Rothwell

Not sure wheret he second pitch finished. There was a broken tree at about 30m but i could see a massive ash tree further up. went to that and ran out of rope (60m)

My first outdoor lead, made more interesting by the whole night time, head torch, pack, and my inablity to tell my left from right.
