[Peryl, E4 6a, Main Wall, Avon. Frank Ramsay on pitch 1, 3 kb]Quarried perfection. Sustained and intricate climbing with good protection and rock. Start on Breakfast Ledge.. 1) 6a, 30m. Follow Lich Gates to its second (poor) peg and step up left to below a small overhang. Good nuts in a short crack down to its left. Move up over the overhang, 2 pegs, and then climb a flared groove below a pink wall, peg on left, rightwards to a difficult exit, 2 pegs, and a rest on the right. Traverse the fingery break left, 2 pegs, to a bolted stance.. 2) 6a, 25m. Climb up the wall on the right, peg out left and a bolt on the right, to a groove and 2 pegs. Follow the groove to a left-trending break and move left, peg, and up into a small overhang capped corner/groove, peg. At the overhang go left, peg, and pull over the overhang to finish. © ROCKFAX

Bit ignoble really - it wasn't that I couldn't do the moves - but I couldn't do them all back to back and range out of strength. Was very glad indeed of the high bolt to protect the second.
hms - 2nd dog - 16/Sep/11 with Tom

Crux reach to the big pocket felt pretty hard, probs easier if you're tall. Brilliant climbing if a bit reliant on pegs.
