captain - 2013

pitches 2&3, bit slimey in places!
michael83 - AltLd O/S - 19/Aug/12 with Stuart Kennedy, Mark Mosgrove

Hidden - AltLd O/S - 19/Aug/12

Hidden - AltLd - 26/Jun/12

Not as good as Squareface, but still pretty special. Especially the mini-Tower Gap near the top.
ladislav - 2nd O/S - 02/Jun/12 with Stuart

Bell's variation the best bit - but we did wrong start which was hard!

tomdude - Lead - 24/Sep/11 with marie

Hidden - AltLd O/S - 30/Jul/11

Quite wild for the grade. I led p.2 and 3 together and the mega-exposed p.5. Pitch 4 is rotten.
bnewman - AltLd O/S - 01/May/11 with Johannes, Amelia

Hidden - 2nd O/S - 01/May/11

Brilliant isolated route, led even pitches and felt good value for the grade. Top of pitch 4 is horrendously loose, treat with care!
Mike_Watson_99 - AltLd O/S - 22/Apr/11 with Fiona

Odd pitches. Great route in a great situation and perfect weather. The jammed block on pitch one is entertaining. Finished up Bell's variation
Fiona Reid - AltLd O/S - 22/Apr/11 with Mike

el diablo - AltLd - 15/May/10 with Nick Bowen

andymoin - AltLd O/S - 12/Sep/09 with Mark Jarvie

Walked in, did Squareface then this and walked out the same day. I led the odd numbers. The 1st 3 pitches were brilliant, it got a bit scrappy after that. Fantastic exposure and views the whole way up.
Sutty22 - AltLd O/S - 01/Jun/09 with Ian Watson

Led pitch 2 and 4.
errrrm? - AltLd O/S - 01/Jun/09 with sutty

Fantastic, same day as Squareface and with Bell's sensational variation finish what a way to cap off an epic mini-expedition.
