Went fine until top crux but just couldn't figure it out. 3 big falls then gave up. Managed to work it out on top rope. Excellent route but hard to onsight - 6a?
BeccaSnowden - Lead dnf - 20/Oct/12 with Tom
On Becca's gear - hard moves (hard 5c if not 6a) to get to the bolt and a balancy an bold crux low down. Brilliant climb.

Brilliant! Had always thought it looked awesome and scary! Can't believe i just jumped on it. Was pretty nervous. bottom went absolutely fine. Stepped back down from the crux, got good No.5 rock in and went back up a bit further right. Whole thing felt pretty serious. Super stoked!

Superb route. Feels a bit like a Gogarth route. Never too bold, just brilliant climbing

Bit too much time route finding! Still good though.

took a mighty fall from the reachy low crux, started again this time with trust in those pegs!

Hard for the short low down. Maybe i missed something. Half an inch less reach and i'd have been gone. Not a trivial fall to consider either. Not 3 star so close to a dual carriageway.

The direct finish. You move right from the concrete block, then up to the bolt. I think this might merit 6a, if only to tell you what to expect, but maybe it's no harder than Ladder the regular way?
Paz - Lead β - 23/Nov/07 with HL
Tried the "inferior" direct, but went up a bit too far left to the very top of M1.

I visited my brother in Bristol, after returning from the Alps and hooked up with a stray climber in the gorge to do these 2 routes. I think his name was Mark...very large...Dunne proportions. A butcher. Turns out he's a bit of a legend down that way. strong lad for his size!!
