Excellent route, I think. The final pitch would be a good gritstone route, and is good fun; don't be too bothered by the '5b' grade. Unfortunately, if you don't pay proper attention to navigation, as we didn't, then it is possible to veer off to join 'Superdirect' on P2. A bit alarming, but got up it anyway, to rejoin 'The Direct' for the last pitch. Splendid rock!

My pitches were clean onsight. But fell two or three times as a second on the last pitch.
I loved pitch three:
"Large holds lead up right to a steep diagonal crack. Monkey along this for a couple of metres, then stride rightwards climbing easily to a long ledge." CC
Pushed me technically, so I had to take a breath and commit, but not horrific.

riddle - AltLd - Jul/07 with Tom Elliot & Hadley Slade-Jones
Definately need to be confidant at VS for this one!Great route up the middle of Dinas Mot.Led pitches 1 & 3.pitch 2 is sustained 4b! The hand traverse pitch was easier than i`d expected,and the top pitch is desperate,no gear till you`ve done the crux(bridge it!) and not easy up the flakes,bit pumpy. good lead by Rob on top pitch!

My favourite climb to date. Led pitches 1 and 3. 1 is straightforward, 2 is a delight, 3 is airy and 4 is the perfect end.

Fantastic route probably one of the best routes I have ever done. Did the crux pitch and found the bottom move easier than the top moves I'd give it HVS 5a.

Perhaps the only time I've really lost my temper while climbing was on the last pitch of this route. I was doing the trying bridging on the start of the last pitch and received some doubtless well intentioned but very badly timed advice from clibers on the route to the right, just as I was (successfully, thankfully) exploring the limits of my technique and adhesion on the polished moves. In my stressed state, my response was terse and direct...but I did apologise once i got to the top of the crag. Strange how you react to stress, isn't it?
