Very bold climb
dawesbub - 2nd O/S - 21/Aug/11 with Big Lee

Horrible route. Polished at the bottom, earthy at the top with deck-out potential in the middle. Placed two runners in 15m.

Didn't realise I'd done this before! Big crack on the climb was filthy - my right boot emerged covered in slimy clay, which didn't offer very much friction on the next move! Probably the consequence of all the recent snow melt.

Worth at least 2 stars, despite it's short length. Has the feel of a long bouldering problem, in that it is a series of quite technical moves. Possibly has some deckout potential until you clip the bolt, but that adds something to the climb. A nice climb to end the day on. NB there are some abseil bolts, so no need to damage the trees.

Bold. Desmond Decker a possibility until the peg is clipped.
