Needed a little bit of brain power, but the key was to get feet high! Even in the hot weather the 'polish' isn't that bad. Just have to be creative with footwork.

Another failed attempt to 'clean' this route. Placed good gear beneath the crux; a wire in the crack above (size 2 BD Stopper) and a hex well-seated in the groove to the left (size 6 WC Rockcentric). Moving up to the crux I had a failure of strength and couldn't hold on or pull myself over. At least the gear held nice and solid. One day...

Good effort by Rob considering it was his third ever HVS. The climbing is straight forward and well protected but powerful and awkward at the same time.
Quarryboy - 2nd O/S - 22/May/11 with Rob Stanfield

Great route. Once you reach the big undercut and crack you can get bomber gear in. You can actually enjoy the crux, knowing you have a good chance of living if you fall. Recommend getting wires in the crack and then down climbing to the slopy ledge to de-pump. Polish really isnt as bad as comments have said!

Jurga - 2nd O/S - Apr/11 with James

OK - so there's a bit of polish, but it's not that bad... Maybe a bit more notable below and around the crux. It was only the left foot smear that felt a little insecure. Cool route though. Definitely deserves a star.
andy dunn - Lead O/S - 05/Mar/11 with J

The Norfolk Machine eventually powered his way up this with much puffing and cursing only for me to dog the second. Having removed enough protection to stop even a falling elephant I set about working out the crux. Should have paid more attention to TNM's efforts, but was distracted by a falling walkie talkie just missing me from an instructor on an abseil course to my left. Basically on my tenth attempt I found the whopping jug on the left of the overhang just where the rope was hiding it, having slipped and slided my way on it for the past twenty minutes trying to lay back it. Piece of advice: don't bother trying to layback it. Find the jug instead. Finally gave in with forearms looking like a bouncy castle. To be repeated.

Dr Caterpillar - 2nd O/S - 27/Oct/07 with Adam

A disgustingly polished lead. Scary and not at all fun. Stepped up to carry on after Clive wisely backed down because of the polish. I just committed myself deeper, then had to traverse onto the VS to the right. The rope drag was too great by then, so had to abb of a small tree. This route would have been great once, but it's had its day. Every hold is like glass. It's just not fun, don't bother.
