Watched Nadia aged 10 sail up this including a leap for the flake at 3m, may have cut short and missed the final moves off this climb by joining stepped wall climb.

Worthwhile, nicely positioned crux. Well protected if you bring some large gear.

Nice little climb, could have done with some bigger gear. The last move seemed a bit daunting, but there is a nice hold on the face that I didn't see at first, was easy after that...

Lovely lovely climb and the move over the bulge is brilliant. Sitting at the top with Papabear seconding on a warm and barmy May evening. Perfect.

Well deserving its star, despite polish. This little gem of a route is perfect for the VS leader to sample the delights of limestone. First you get a crack, nice and sharp with good footholds for a confident start. Then a step across and up into a groove, plenty of protection at all times. Finally an, "I can't do that", overhang that gives up to determined exploration and some good foot positioning, as big jugs are revealed. Belaying on a comfortable slab next to a very solid tree you might be forgiven for thinking you've found the perfect single pitch VS.
