With a pack at the end of the day, which made it a little more challenging. Found it a bit broken and wandering, but a decent journey up the cliff
Dr Toph - Solo O/S - 02/Mar/13
Climbed as a three. I lead the first pitch. The leader went way off route to the left on the top pitch. Lots of fun with three of us cuddling together on the first belay ledge.
Shared the belay with another pair climbing Zelda (KitRabbette?). Sorry if we slowed you guys down!

neilwiltshire - AltLd O/S - 22/Sep/12 with Nick Dedekind
V bold start long run out on the traverse. Take a wing and ya decking. Bold move onto the wall. Good peg runner. Second pitch is challenging but v good. third is interesting if you move slightly to far left. regained and found another old peg runner.

Always feels a little scary to solo this one. Especially when you break a foot hold and it goes flying off!

AndyMcCoy - AltLd - 31/May/12 with Tony Raphael, Rosy
No soft touch for HS 4b. There is a large loose block on the second pitch that would once have been a brilliant jug, but is now a dangerous distraction.
RosyR - 2nd - 31/May/12 with Andy McC, Tony R
John led p1 and p3.pitch 1 was a little interesting,p2 was exposed and very little gear:hard for the grade i felt.pitch 3 was shite.all in all it was only the multipitch experience that made it worth while as the climbing was some what lacking!Zelda is far nicer from memory and easier!
jon_gill1 - AltLd O/S - 27/May/12 with john beardmore
Me: 1st and 3rd pitchs. Jon: 2nd pitch. The first pitch is very bold (for the grade) off the ground to the first gear. I was very happy that I was not just an HS leader on this.

Hannahjscott - AltLd - 16/May/12 with Will Rees
Lead second pitch, seconded first and third. Dropped a set of nuts on Hannah when placing my first piece on the second pitch after they magicly became detached, impressively she caught them and I went back down and got them. I also got very lost on the second pitch but eventually managed to find the shared belay point. Whilst at the belay stance a Chinook flew below us down the valley.
WillRees - AltLd O/S - 16/May/12 with Hannah Scott
Dave p1&3, me p2, Great climb, Nothing technically outragious for 4b, but that start is still well scary.
Note - there id a huge block on p2 that isn't long for this world, nor will be anyone beneath it.
PaulWatson - AltLd rpt - 13/May/12 with Dave P
Led the last pitch - first pitch a bit dirty - second pitch has some interesting moves including a lovely wide move right onto a ledge. Beautiful day and an enjoyable climb.
Mistee - AltLd O/S - 29/Mar/12 with Phil
Hooked up P1 and P2, awesome rope drag and sparse gear are a spicy mix.

Definitely a 2** climb. The holds are mostly positive and seem to appear from nowhere at times. If the very popular Zelda is using the belay station, there's a very solid tree adjacent.

Tough Climb!! Karl did 1st I tried 2nd and then wimped out so Karl manned up and did it. I did 3rd, went horribly off route, found a loose block above rubbish gear. Finally gratefully got to the top. Would say top of the grade (or maybe on an off day)
chubbyclimber - AltLd - 28/Jun/10 with Albino
I led 1st and 2nd pitch due to Tim being a big girl on the second pitch. He then got lost on 3rd pitch. Awesome climb but a bit spaced on gear in places..

Lead 2nd pitch. First pitch was a bit knarly, not much gear and even the 2nd climber isn't protected until the tree lined ledge. 2nd pitch had a few run outs but nothing too scary and with some good balancy moves. 3rd pitch, back to the long run outs but better nearer the top.

Removed the large flake on pitch 1 (which used to provide main holds and gear). It was already wobbling when I got there, and rather difficult to get past without using it! TW, on second, pushed it off with the lightest of touches.

Three pitch climb - Darren leading, and me tailing behind. Nothing TOOO horrendous, but standing on tiny ledge belaying Darren up ahead... I enjoyed the sunset..but then decided I'd better turn back and face the rock...too long on small ledge a long way up made me nervous.
Climb took a fair while... and we ended it as darkness fell! Thankfully nothing else fell.

Messed up the first slab, climbed too high, instead of following the line that leads to the horizontal break. Climbers at the start of Zelda (to the right of Greta) helped bail me out with gratefully received sling... Started again and this time did right.
