[Greg phillips leading resurrection E4 Dinas cromlech, 2 kb]They say it's harder than Right Wall, but at least it has gear! The final wall sees many wobbling leaders as arms start to fade fast. 40m. Start on large holds just left of Cenotaph Corner, passing a (sometimes) insitu thread. Long moves (peg) lead to an easier traverse left to join Left Wall. Sprint up the right-hand crackline and stuff it full of gear. Take a deep breath, step left and finish boldly up the wall. An alternative finish is to follow the crackline up rightwards, past a flat hold, to the top - about the same difficulty. © ROCKFAX

Ed Babs - Lead β - 08/Sep/12 with Iain Moodie

Damn damn damn! Fell from the last move before the spike, put too much gear in. But what amazing climbing, especially the lower wall :-)

Mega! What an awesome pitch of climbing, sustained sections of climbing with some big run-outs and some tricky bits!

Superb climbing and position. Good gear and interesting features! 14 runners in all. Sweet as!
Tom Livingstone - Lead O/S - 17/Aug/11 with Jez

Not too bad if your stamina is good. Did left hand finish as way right looked wet. Would recommend this as the move left has a couple of good crimps that you can use instead of stretching and it is easy to top out after that. The gear is good in the crack so it doesn't feel scary.

I fell off a couple of times at the crux (hard for the short), then managed to top out at last, though it required an absolutely top effort at my limit. Though failed to onsight it, it was one of my best rock-climbing experiences. Supreme!
