Retro onsight, no memory of doing it before. Reckon it's worth 5b for shorties.
adam carless - Lead O/S - 17/Jun/13 with victim of mathematics

5b seems nearer the mark than the 5a in the guide. Tough!

Ground-up ascent. Found this very tough. Climbed an easier HVS 5c of similar length yesterday! I'd give it 5b at the least (gets 5a in the BMC guide).

Was going to lead it but wasn't happy I could get the moves as it is quite tricky for shortarses so did it on a rope. Very reachy had to rest at the second break as finger ends were caning, not sure if it was the cold or the sharpness of the grit. Top out on lead into the snow would have been interesting!

Wanted to save this for the lead on a warmer day but none of us weren't exactly in the mood to lead anything else so TR it...
