6a/b. E4 to solo. Hard Start leads to easy but slightly airy climbing until a span leads to the arete and the descent!

Verrrry nice, immaculate wall climbing, small feet, small crimps that get a bigger as you get higher, which is nice, and then a great move for the juggy tope ledge, boom! Bouldery 6b into solid 6a moves into scary 5c top moves.

flashed solo, good fun
brices - Solo β - 15/Feb/12

Bouldered the start easily but didn't fancy the solo. Peg looks high up and a long way to the right

bouldered the start a few times managing to find the best sequence. Grabbed a quickdraw and roped up. A little bit of relief when peg was clipped. Needed to catch a bus in 20 minutes so had to sacrifice a quickdraw on the peg. Well earned whoever gets it!

Beta needed!
tombeasley - Sent dnf - 07/Apr/11

Worked ground-up but play stopped couple of moves below peg after ripping a tip. Didn't really know where line goes as pretty much every hold on that wall is chalked.

Finally after falling off and breaking my ankle almost 2 years ago. Led this time though.

2nd try (overall) felt pretty straightforward this time
lukehodson - Lead RP - 22/Feb/09 with Loz

Used a couple of pads. Got to the last move and bailed, was getting dark and couldn't see footholds well. Felt like i might barn door off otherwise, and miss the mats ( = broken ankles). Fell about 6 metres but was ok.
lukehodson - Solo dnf - 21/Feb/09 with Howard

I'll not record everytime I do it, but it lends itself to a good warm up route
KRB - Solo rpt - 25/Nov/08

Ground up. Mat + peg used
