Belayed half way up pitch 2 as didn't fancy the look of the traverse, and wasn't sure which way it went, Kev took over and found a way across, seemed a lot harder than 5a to me.

P1
Ollie B - AltLd O/S - 20/Apr/13 with T.Ripley

Hidden - Lead O/S - 06/Apr/13

The alternate finish, straight up, an easier but less spectacular finish at the same grade
simeclimb68 - Solo rpt - 06/Apr/13

Superb. Lead P2, don't wimp out and miss the awesome traverse...
jezb1 - AltLd - 05/Apr/13

Hidden - 05/Apr/13

Excellent but thin traverse on pitch 2, will have to go back and led this pitch one day, led pitches 1 & 3 which were also good. Top route.

J,M,J Challenging second pitch for the second as well as the leader!
Marq - AltLd O/S - 01/Apr/12 with James Rowe

Finished up the rib rather than traverse into Rienetta. Just possible from the 1st belay with 50m ropes!
victim of mathematics - Lead O/S - 01/Apr/12 with Jaime

Led p2. Had done part of it before on Daddy Cool, but first time I have done Belshazzar, surprised how good it was

P1, best laybacking pitch ever. Dan took the wrong traverse on P2, down climbing Daddy cool, I ended up seconding the moves with no gear till the tree belay, pretty glad I didn't fall off!

griff90 - Lead - 10/Oct/10

good route, did the direct finish (too easy for 5b like it says in new trem guide) then did the traverse after daddy cool.. all ryans gear came out an it felt pretty scary.. would have taken a monster pendulum into the corner. and have done the rennetta finish in the past. good route. first pitch is easier than it looks
