craig matheson - 2010

Another nice route on nice rock - Sam's first HVS...went a bit off route on second pitch and traversed left to join Pink Panther - a fun variation - 5b? First pitch also tough for 5a....

An epic ascent due to gale force winds...scuttled off to the calm of Hodge Close Quarry.
Graham Iles - 2nd - 25/May/08 with Neil Cooper

Reasonable gear all the way and no moves harder than 5a. Fine route.
joe larner - Lead O/S - 24/May/08 with Sam

Hidden - 24/May/08

Hidden - AltLd - 11/May/08

Excellent route but certainly top end HVS 5a. Protection on the crux move isn't great but you're unlikely to deck out if you come off at this point.

Goody - 2nd O/S - 10/May/08 with Conan Harrod

This was on my 2007 Wish List after I shied away from it in 2005 over concerns about lack of gear on the initial traverse. Overall, I found the climb to be superb and varied. I would say it was hardish for the grade. I thought the crux was approaching 5b and I was almost off. Thankfully, I had managed to wedge a small nut in sideways to protect the move - so I was confident enough to just go for it.
